San Diego State’s Trey White Named to Mid-Season All-American Teams
San Diego State edge rusher Trey White has made the Associated Press midseason All-America team, released Thursday.
White, in his third year playing for the Aztecs, leads the Mountain West in sacks and tackles for loss, and was placed on the AP's First Team on defense. He received Second Team honors from The Athletic.
The alum of Eastlake High in Chula Vista is a team captain who recorded an interception and 15 tackles, nine solo in his freshman season last year.
Boise State running back, also from the MW, Ashton Jeanty was a unanimous selection on offense and Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter occupies two first-team positions.
Miami's Cam Ward was the runaway winner for top quarterback, the SEC held down four of the five spots on the offensive line and 10 of the AP preseason All-America first-team picks were on the midseason first-team as well.
Jeanty has run for more than 200 yards in three of his six games and is averaging a nation-leading 208 per game and 9.9 per carry. His 17 rushing touchdowns are most in the country.
Only 25 teams have more rushing yards this season than Jeanty's 1,248, the highest six-game total by a player since Garrett Wolfe had 1,343 for Northern Illinois in 2006, according to Sportradar.
Hunter has appeared on offense, defense and special teams and played as many as 147 snaps in a game, according to Pro Football Focus. Hunter is Colorado's leading receiver, with 46 catches for 587 yards and six touchdowns. As a cornerback, he has two interceptions and three pass breakups, and he forced a fumble in overtime to secure a win over Baylor.
