Alabama Football: Three Tide Players Named To Walter Camp All-America Team
By Chris Hale
Three Alabama football players were named to the Walter Camp All-America Team on Thursday at The Home Depot ESPN College Football Awards that were held at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
Tide wide receiver Amari Cooper and defensive back Landon Collins were named to the First Team while offensive lineman Arie Kouandjio was named to the Second Team.
Florida State led the nation with three players named to the First Team while the Tide, Oregon and Utah had two each. The Atlantic Coast Conference, Pac 12, and Southeastern Conference each had six selections.
“Once again, we had more than 80 percent of the FBS schools participate in this year’s voting,” Walter Camp Football Foundation President James Monico said in a release. “We are very appreciative of the continuing cooperation of the coaches and sports information directors in our annual effort to honor the nation’s most outstanding college players.”
