Beginning his fifth year as the assistant men's soccer coach, Diego Cevallos, has been a key part in Judson's success the past four seasons. A 2004 graduate from Judson University, he helped to recruit the class that produced 74 games the past four seasons and claimed four CCAC regular season, tournament and NAIA Region VII Championships. In his first season as an assistant coach, he was a part of the Eagles' impressive undefeated regular season then finished the season with their only loss in the second round of the NAIA National Tournament to the eventual national champion. Cevallos will also be the interim head women's soccer coach for the Judson women's soccer team in 2008.
Before becoming a coach at Judson, he distinguished himself as a soccer player playing for the Eagles from 2001-2004 where he contributed immensely to the program and helped the team claim its fifth NCCAA National Title in 2002. He graduated from Judson with a bachelor's degree in Pre-Med.
Cevallos learned the game in Costa Rica, his home country, where soccer is a passion of the people and where it is very prestigious to be an accomplished player. He, then, moved to the United States and played high school soccer in Rockford earning a wide variety of awards.
For several years now, Cevallos has been involved in the local youth soccer scene and he has become a Premier US Youth Soccer Coach who is highly sought out as a trainer for both individuals and club teams. He is currently part of the coaching staff at Crystal Lake Force for the Elite program.
Cevallos is currently on hold to finish his medical career at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago.
