CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College redshirt junior tight end Hunter Long was named to the Football Writers Association of America All-America second-team on Wednesday. Long becomes just the third tight end in Boston College history to be named to the FWAA All-American team.
Since 1945, the FWAA team has been among the five used in the NCAA's selection of an annual consensus All-America team in college football. Since the 2002 season, the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), The Associated Press, The Sporting News and the Walter Camp Football Foundation have joined the FWAA as the five designated selectors by the NCAA.
