Boise State football player receives third All-America honor
Avery Williams also selected for Shrine Bowl
BOISE, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) โ A Boise State football player has just earned his third All-America award.
Avery Williams has just been named to the Sporting News first team as a return specialist.
He is the first Bronco to garner two first-team selections on special teams.
Like we mentioned Monday, heโs also the first Boise State returner to be an All-American since Kyle Wilson in 2008.
The redshirt senior earned first-team honors from USA Today as a return specialist.
And the Associated Press named him to the third team as an all-purpose player.
Williams leads the nation this season with four special teams touchdowns.
Williams also received an invite to the 2021 East-West Shrine Bowl.
The game is canceled due to complications surrounding COVID-19, but organizers are continuing to announce the names of the nationโs best seniors.
The 96th Annual East-West Shrine Bowl had been scheduled for January 23 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The student-athletes will instead participate in various virtual training/informational drills with current NFL coaches and members of the NFL operations staff.
