MONROE, La. – ULM junior Marcus Green, who accounted for a school single-season record 2,008 all-purpose yards and tied for the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision lead with four kickoff returns for touchdowns in 2017, has been selected Second-Team All-American as an athlete by Sporting News. Penn State's Saquon Barkley is the SN First-Team All-America selection as an athlete.
Green recently garnered Second-Team All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America (all-purpose player), CollegeFootballNews.com (kick returner) and Pro Football Focus (kick returner). He is only the second ULM player to earn first-, second- or third-team All-America recognition since the program moved to the NCAA FBS (formerly known as Division I-A) in 1994.
