Dustin King was a soccer coach’s dream this season, denying goals while leading the back line and then scoring them when the Panthers needed him on the other end.

The Oswego junior has been named the 2025 Kendall County Record Boys Soccer Player of the Year as he guided the Panthers to a 15-8 season that included victories against Oswego East, Yorkville and Marmion, among a dozen others.

“Dustin was a key player to our team’s success this season,” Panthers coach Gaspar Arias said. “He demonstrates maturity, strong work ethic and commitment to team success. Not only was he a great defender, but he was also able to play striker when we needed him to. He scored some key goals to give us wins in some challenging games. We could always count on him to get the job done.”
