BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana sophomore Tiawan Mullen became the first cornerback in program history to earn first-team All-America honors, it was announced by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) on Wednesday afternoon. The FWAA released its 2020 All-America Team, presented in partnership with the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.
Mullen is just the second cornerback (Tim Wilbur, 1980 second-teamer) in school history to achieve All-America status and is the first Hoosier since offensive lineman Dan Feeney (2015, 2016) to collect first-team recognition.
With senior wide receiver Ty Fryfogle and junior linebacker Micah McFadden receiving third-team All-America laurels from the Associated Press earlier this week, IU has three All-Americans for the first time since 2007 (wide receiver James Hardy – second team, defensive end Greg Middleton – second team, kicker Austin Starr – second team).
