The honors continue to roll in for Virginia Tech freshmen cornerback Mansoor Delane.
The 6-foot-1, 177-pound defensive back from Silver Spring, Md., was named to the freshman All-America team by the Football Writers Association of America. It’s the third such honor for Delane, who was previously named to the 247Sports freshman All-American team and the College Football News freshman All-American team.
In addition, Delane was named honorable mention All-ACC. It’s important to note he accomplished all of this in eight games. At the beginning of the season, Delane was considered for a redshirt. However, it quickly became clear to coaches he was Virginia Tech’s best defensive back — as a true freshman.
