Despite it being Traynor’s first nomination for the “Heisman Trophy of Lacrosse”, he's earned multiple national and conference honors this year for his goal-scoring ability on the offensive end.

Recently earning a spot on the National Team of the Week, Traynor also was named the Offensive Player of the Week in the Big Ten after scoring seven goals – tying his single-game career high – and notching one assist on Saturday against Johns Hopkins.
