Defensive End Bradley Chubb is NC State’s first consensus 1st Team All-American since Jim Richter in 1979.
When I first reported this back on December 12th, I stated that Chubb was the 7th player ever to earn the prestigious honor in NC State history. I gathered that data from the NC State media Guide.
Since then I’ve come to learn that the “consensus” title is only given to players who earn 1st Team Honors from a panel of 5 media outlets: The Sporting News, Walter Camp Football Foundation, The Associated Press, the Football Writers Association of America and the American Football Coaches Association.
