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.
