Rachal was one of just four rookies to be honored with a selection to either the National or American Conference First and Second teams.

"This honor is very well deserved for Traco," said Law CEO Kiki DeAyala. "Traco is a class act on and off the field. He was a consistent bright spot all year for us. He certainly deserves a chance to move up to the Arena Football League. If he does remain in arenafootball2 we would love to have him back next year."

The other DS from the National Conference was Rio Grande Valley's Eddie Moten. Rachal and Moten tied for the af2 lead with 10 interceptions.

Rachal was honored by af2 as the league's ADT Defensive Player of the Week during the regular season for his two interception performance against Wichita on July 24th.

In the final game of the year, Rachal showed his versatility by playing both ways. He caught two passes and returned a kickoff 52 yards for a TD against Tulsa in addition to intercepting a pass.
