BBK Named Walter Camp Second-Team All-American
December 06, 2018 | Football
During the Home Depot College Football Awards show on Thursday, Washington senior linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven was announced as a member of the Walter Camp All-America Second Team.
This is the 129th edition of the Walter Camp All-America team -- the nation's oldest All-America team. It is selected by FBS head coaches and sports information directors. Along with the Associated Press, AFCA, FWAA and Sporting News, it is one of five awards used by the NCAA to determine unanimous and consensus All-Americans.
Burr-Kirven finished the regular season as the NCAA-FBS leader with 165 tackles and tied for sixth in the nation with four forced fumbles. The senior linebacker's tackle total is 97 more than second on the team (Tevis Barlett, 68). He has also recovered three fumbles, recorded six pass breakups and picked-off two passes to anchor a Husky defense that led the Pac-12 and was 12th in the nation in total defense (301.8 yards allowed per game), led the Pac-12 in pass defense (185.4 yards allowed per game), and finished second in rush defense (116.4 yards allowed per game).
He has already been named Pat Tillman Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, AP Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, Pac-12 Football Scholar Athlete of the Year, finalist for the Lott IMPACT Trophy and semifinalist for the Bednarik Award. Burr-Kirven has also earned first team All-America recognition from Bleacher Report and second team honors by SI.com and The Athletic.
