MEMPHIS – For the second year in a row, the University of Memphis football team has a player on the USA Today Freshman All-American team, as defensive back T.J. Carter was named to the team Tuesday. Kick returner Tony Pollard, who was named a Walter Camp and FWAA first team All-America honoree earlier this week, was named a Freshman All-American by USA Today last season.
Carter, the American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year, started all 12 Memphis games this season and leads the team with five interceptions.
