Angie Espinoza Vaquerano

BArch, Architecture (2022)

Angie photo

A native of El Salvador, Angie Espinoza Vaquerano moved to the United States when she was three years old. Today, she is an intern architect at Neumann Monson Architects.

Espinoza Vaquerano was accepted by Iowa State but was ineligible for federal student aid given her status as part of the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program.

“I wanted to go to college, but I didn’t have the money,” she says. “I didn’t know how I would pay for it.”

Espinoza Vaquerano first heard of the Jack Trice story in her AP History class at Valley High School in West Des Moines. She applied for the Jack Trice Character Award as an incoming first-year student. (Or at least she hoped to find the financial resources to enroll.)

“The Jack Trice Character Award was the first scholarship I received,” she says through tears. “Many people would eventually bless me with their support, financially and emotionally. The Jack Trice Character Award was the beginning of all those blessings.

“What Jack Trice did is what I am doing in terms of honor for my family and the Latina community. When you are the first to do something, you need to give it your all. You may get pushed down, but you get back up again.”

Everyone is expecting me to do big things. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. I will!

Jack Trice was Iowa State's first African-American athlete. He died of injuries sustained during a football game in 1923. He was 21.

The Jack Trice Commemoration — 100 years after his untimely death — honors Jack's brief life and enduring legacy by sharing his story and inspiring meaningful conversations about race, personal character and a commitment to doing one's very best.

Oct 5, 1923

To whom it may concern:

My thoughts just before the first real college game of my life. The honor of my race, family, & self are at stake. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. I will! My whole body & soul are to be thrown recklessly about on the field tomorrow. Every time the ball is snapped I will be trying to do more than my part.

On all defensive plays I must break thru the opponents line (and) stop the play in their territory. Beware of mass interference & fight low with your eyes open and toward the play. Roll block the interference. Watch out for cross bucks and reverse end runs. Be on your toes every minute if you expect to make good.

Commemoration Programs

The Jack Trice Commemoration features several new programs to honor Jack’s life and legacy.

Art Installation

Iowa State dedicated a new art installation in the fall of 2022 to honor Jack Trice and his story in the history of Iowa State University. Located north of Jack Trice Stadium, Breaking Barriers (Ivan Toth Depeña) invokes the spirit of perseverance, memory/reflection and subsequent contemplation regarding our current state of unrest surrounding the subject of inequality.

Look for information on details and deadlines as the Fall 2023 semester approaches.

Jack Trice Legacy Game

Iowa State Athletics will host the Jack Trice Legacy Game, presented by Nationwide, on Saturday, October 7, 2023, against 2022 College Football Playoff finalist TCU. The Cyclones will wear throwback uniforms against the Horned Frogs to pay tribute to Trice’s legacy in the stadium that bears his name a day before the 100th anniversary of his tragic death. The game will be anchored by numerous events and featured programming to commemorate Trice’s life and enduring legacy, creating an extremely meaningful weekend for Cyclone fans, alumni and the community.

The honor of my race, family, & self are at stake.

Previous Honors

Iowa State University has previously honored the legacy of Jack Trice in several ways. Those honors did not come quickly, completely or without controversy, but they do recognize Jack’s important and inspiring place in the history of the University — as well as the persistence of students, faculty and staff, alumni, fans and other supporters in keeping Jack’s story alive.

Jack Trice

Jack Trice Stadium

Iowa State started construction of a new football stadium in the 1970s. Student leaders and faculty petitioned to name the stadium for Jack Trice. In 1984, after a protracted and sometimes contentious debate, the Iowa Board of Regents approved a recommendation to designate the stadium as “Cyclone Stadium” and the playing field as “Jack Trice Field.” Thirteen years later – in 1997 – the Board of Regents voted to name the stadium after Jack Trice. Today, Jack Trice Stadium is the only major college football stadium named for an African-American.

Jack Trice Stadium also features a premium seating area called the Jack Trice Club section and artwork on its east concourse honoring Jack.

Jack Trice Statue

In 1984 the Student Government at Iowa State voted to allocate funds to construct a statue honoring Jack Trice. The statue was originally erected on central campus between Carver and Beardshear Halls in 1988. From 1997 to 2019, the statue was located north of Jack Trice Stadium before being moved back to Central Campus.

Jack Trice Character Award

Established in 1984 with student funds allocated by the Student Government, the Jack Trice Character Award is a scholarship that recognizes an Iowa State undergraduate or incoming freshman who embodies the traits and character of Jack Trice. More than 50 students have benefited from the scholarship since its inception. Read some of their stories here.

Jack Trice Endowed Scholarship

The Jack Trice Endowed Scholarship was established in 2021 to highlight the Jack Trice story and help Iowa State University and its football program raise awareness to the nation’s social justice issues. It is awarded annually to a Black, senior student-athlete on the football team. The recipient is selected by Head Coach Matt Campbell and honors a student-athlete who portrays the traits of Jack Trice such as courage, character, selflessness, leadership, dedication to the community and academic/athletic achievement.
