AUBURN, Ala. - Three Auburn Tigers: running back Kerryon Johnson, offensive lineman Braden Smith and kicker Daniel Carlson earned second-team All-America honors Monday from the Football Writers Association of America.

Johnson, who finished ninth in the Heisman Trophy voting, has rushed for 1,320 yards this season, leading the SEC with 120 yards per game. His 17 rushing touchdowns rank No. 7 nationally.

Johnson averaged 10.4 points per game in 2017, seventh in FBS. He added two touchdown receptions and threw a TD pass in Auburn’s 26-14 Iron Bowl win.
