Bayless named to All-America team

For the first time since 1987, the Arkansas State University football team has an Associated Press All-American.

Senior wide receiver Omar Bayless, who's shattered records this season and already earned numerous accolades, was named a third-team AP All-America selection Monday.

Bayless was also named a second-team Walter Camp All-America selection Thursday, the first time in program history a player has made that list.

Bayless earned the Sun Belt Player of the Year award and was named first team all-conference earlier this month as well. It was the fourth consecutive season a Red Wolves player had been named the league's player of the year, and it was just the second time ever a receiver had won it.
