SALT LAKE CITY-- Utah punter Tom Hackett was named a first-team All-American today by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA)—giving him first-team status on the three teams announced to date that count toward the consensus All-America team (FWAA, AP, Walter Camp).
The other two—American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and Sporting News—will be announced on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, and the consensus team will be revealed on Thursday. Hackett was a consensus All-American a year ago.
It is also Hackett’s second-straight year as a first-team FWAA, AP and Walter Camp All-American. Last week, he won the Ray Guy Award as the nation's best collegiate punter for the second time.
