A two-sport standout in football and men’s soccer, Langan holds the distinction of earning College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America honors a WIU record four times (all three years of eligibility in soccer, one time in football). In 2004, Langan was chosen as the Mid-Continent Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year and one of five Leathernecks all-time (in all sports) to receive a NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship award.
He earned All-Mid Continent Conference honors four times in soccer, helping the 2000 team win the Mid-Con regular season title. Langan earned a spot on the 2002 Mid-Con All-Tournament Team. He finished his career tied for the program record with nine career multi-goal games, and ranked third in points (82), goals scored (32) and assists (18).
Among the season ‘Top 10’, Langan still ranks ninth in points, tied for eighth in goals, tied for fifth in assists and twice is ranked eighth in game-winning goals. He still owns the program record for most goals (3) and points (6) in a conference tournament game.
After sitting out the 2000 season in football, Langan began his football career in 2001 and was a four-year starter for the Leathernecks. Until recently he held the NCAA record for most kicking points in a season. A three-time All-Gateway Conference selection, Langan was also a three-time First Team Academic All-Gateway selection. Twice in his football career he picked up First Team All-American accolades.
