"It's an absolute privilege to be named to the FGCU Athletics Hall of Fame," Alvarez said. "I never would have imagined something like this could happen to me. When I received the phone call I was truly speechless. I would have never accomplished any of my achievements without the support of so many people.

"I want to thank my family for all of their sacrifices and support," Alvarez continued. "I wouldn't be the person I am today without the values they instilled in me. I also want to thank Coach (Dave) Tollett and Coach (Steve) McKee for giving me a chance to prove myself and constantly challenging me throughout my career. They always challenged me and my teammates to be the best no matter what. Being part of such an elite group of people is truly an honor and I'm proud to be part of it. Go Eagles!"

"Mikel is one of the finest hitters that has ever come through FGCU," said head baseball coach Dave Tollett. "When I think of Mikel, he was one of the few in the history of the game that can wake up out of bed and hit two doubles before the next guy brushes his teeth. I will remember his tenacious will to win, the quality of person he is, and how he is one of the most outstanding teammates to ever wear the Green and Blue. Truly, he is one of the best that I have ever coached. Congratulations Mikel on an outstanding career."
