Kaiir Elam should be First-Team All-American, not Second-Team

The prestigious Walter Camp preseason All-American teams were announced on June 17, 2021. The Florida Gators were represented with one player, and that is cornerback Kaiir Elam.

It was great to have a Gator on the list, but it also was too low of a ranking for Elam, in my opinion.

Elam earned Second-Team All-American honors from Walter Camp, but we all know that he should have been First-Team.
