His work ethic, as well as his performance on the field, got him looks from several powerhouse programs like Auburn, Illinois, Georgia, Florida State and North Carolina State. His toughness is a what stands out the most, though. Jauregui broke his hand in the first game of his senior season, but continued to play through the pain and discomfort - something the Blue Raider coaching staff took note of.
