CEDAR FALLS, Iowa --- UNI defensive back Woo Governor and kicker Matthew Cook were named to The Bluebloods FCS Second Team All-America, as announced by the college football website on Wednesday.

Governor, a rising senior from Plant City, Florida, enters his fourth season with the Panthers this fall after earning Second Team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) recognition in 2022, as well as Bluebloods First Team All-MVFC recognition. Appearing in all 11 games for UNI last season, Governor notched 61 total tackles with four interceptions for the Panther defense, including a pair of interception returns for touchdowns against Western Illinois, which tied a UNI school record for most interception returns in a single game and season.
