GLENDALE, Ariz. (FWAA) – The Football Writers Association
of America and Scripps announced their sixth annual
Freshman All-America Team on Monday morning during the association's
annual awards breakfast.
The team features teammates from Alabama and Florida State and three
unanimous selections (Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, Wisconsin running
back P.J. Hill and Alabama linebacker Prince Hall). The SEC led
all conferences with five players. The Big 12 placed four players
on the squad. Twelve of the 27 freshman All-America selections were
true freshman.
In addition, Boise State coach Chris Petersen was named the top
first-year coach at his school.
The team and coach are selected by a group of writers led by FWAA
vice-president Mike Griffith of the Knoxville News-Sentinel,
a member of the Scripps chain. Both true freshmen and redshirt freshmen
were considered for the team and so noted.
