Congratulations to Jalin. He earned every accolade.

Is he our first consensus AA since Berry?

Derek Barnett was one. Not sure Hyatt is there yet but should be. This is the first one I've seen released that counts

Hendo at third team is pretty nice, too. Boy, the media loved them some USC this year!

So, Stroud and Bennett made it to NYC for the Heistman finals over HH. Guess they must be 4th and 5th string AA's.

Dem Riley Boys too

USC had 3 AAs and missed playoffs? Isn’t that an indictment of Riley?

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Or the voters. ...

They have been waiting for a large market, west coast football team to be relevant again. I think USC is good and they are only getting better. So pushing that helps media grow that market.

...and the fact they'll be in the Big 10 soon makes it that much better for 'pushing'.

Hooker should have been second team. I think one of his issues is that comments get flagged because his last name is Hooker when you try to put it on any other site! They think you are using the derogatory term for Prostitute...

Makes too much sense. I’m suspicious.

It was that schedule gauntlet they had to endure.

Not really. Tennessee had four AP all Americans in 2001 and would have missed the playoff had there been one. Alabama had four in 2010 and went 9-3 in the regular season. It’s sports, **** happens.

Sporting News Names Hyatt to All-America First Team - University of Tennessee Athletics (utsports.com)

Marking his sixth All-America honor of the year, and fourth by one of the NCAA-recognized outlets, Jalin Hyatt was selected to the All-America First Team Tuesday morning by the Sporting News.

 

[Toucan Sam]

Hyatt most definitely earned it.

media is desperate to make west coast football relevant again. Williams & Stroud were pedestrian against the only solid defenses they played.

 

[MEDVOL]

Looks like first unanimous since EB.

After garnering first-team recognition from all five of the NCAA recognized football All-America teams, Tennessee junior wide receiver Jalin Hyatt became just the 13th player in program history to achieve unanimous All-America status.

The 2022 Biletnikoff Award winner was named a first-team selection by the fifth and final All-America team when the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) announced its 2023 All-America teams on Wednesday.

Hyatt is one of 14 players to earn unanimous All-America status (four from SEC) this season and one of 25 players to be named a consensus All-American (six from SEC).

The Irmo, South Carolina, native, is the first Vol to be a unanimous first-team All-American since defensive back Eric Berry earned the distinction in back-to-back seasons in 2008 and 2009, and the first Tennessee wide receiver to ever accomplish the feat.

I'll never understand how it's possible that Peyton isn't on that list.

Kind of wild that Peyton Manning wasn't a unanimous vote his senior year at QB.
