BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Xander Naguib, a fifth-year senior from Frisco, Texas, has been named as the recipient of the 2026 Glenn Brewster Memorial Award, which is presented annually by the Campbell University men's soccer team.
 
Davis Reid, a freshman from Huntersville, N.C., has been selected to receive the team's Jim McVeigh Award.
 
"The Brewster and McVeigh awards mean a tremendous amount to our program and have been a longstanding tradition for many years," said head coach Ricky Davey.  "During a difficult transitional period, these two men stood out for their selflessness, their warrior like mentalities, and their soccer ability. Leading by example on and off the field, they constantly pursued the gold standard of being a student-athlete."
 
On Veterans Day, the Fighting Camels remember all who have served and continue to serve in the Armed Forces.  Fifty-eight years ago, one of our own, Glenn Brewster, joined the U.S. Army and was sent to Vietnam.  The Campbell soccer community remembers Glenn each year when it announces the Glenn Brewster Memorial Award honoree during Veterans Day week.
 
Since 1970, the Glenn Brewster Memorial Award has been presented to the Campbell men's soccer player who best exemplifies the qualities of leadership and courage displayed by the late Glen Brewster, who played on the 1967 team that was a forerunner to Campbell College's nationally prominent clubs in the late '60s and early '70s.  He was later fatally wounded while serving his country in Vietnam.
 
A central midfielder, who also played extensively this season in the central defense, Naguib led the team in total minutes played (1331) and minutes per game (88.7).  He started all 15 matches he played and provided the assist on Nicholas Vingsgaard's game-winning goal against William & Mary on Oct. 24.
 
"In a tough season that presented many challenges, Naguib exemplified the qualities of leadership, courage, and selflessness to the highest extent," said Davey.  "He always put his teammates first, no question. He captained the side with true grit and led by example in the way he acted on and off the field. I am extremely proud of Xander and we were delighted to honor him with the Brewster Award."
 
Glenn R. Brewster was born on February 26, 1945.  He grew up on Mt. Prospect Avenue in Newark, N.J., and had one brother, Robert.   Glenn attended Wingate (N.C.) College before transferring to Campbell in 1966, where he was a member of the soccer team.
 
He served in the U.S. Army and attained the rank of Sergeant (SGT).  Brewster was killed in action on March 14, 1970 in Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam. He is buried at Glendale Cemetery in Bloomfield, N.J.
 
The Jim McVeigh Award has been presented annually since 1979 to the Campbell freshman men's soccer player who best exemplifies Jim's dedication, skill and promise as a player. A native of Arnold, Md., McVeigh was a freshman on the 1976 team that eventually won the NAIA District 29 championship. McVeigh lost his life in a tragic automobile accident during the 1976 season.
 
In his first collegiate season, Reid played in all 16 matches for the Camels with 11 starts as a defensive midfielder.  He played the full 90 minutes 10 times, including seven of the last eight contests, and earned his first collegiate point with an assist vs. Longwood.
 
A 2026 graduate of Hopewell High School, Reid averaged 75.1 minutes per game and was in the starting 11 in eight of the team's last eight contests.
 
"Davis is a deserving winner of the McVeigh award," said Davey.  "It's very tough for true freshman to come in and make the impact that Davis did on and off the field. He's a great teammate and a fierce competitor on the grass. Another selfless player that played four different positions throughout the season, Davis' versatility, his ability to cover ground, to compete, and find the simple pass was impressive. We're excited to see how Davis develops over his next few years at Campbell."
