MONROE, La. – ULM junior cornerback Corey Straughter, who allowed the nation's lowest passer rating (13.5), lowest completion percentage (28.6) and fewest combined receptions for first downs and touchdowns (7), has been named Second-Team All-American by USA TODAY.
The 5-foot-10, 180-pound Straughter recently garnered Third-Team All-America honors from Pro Football Focus. His 89.9 coverage grade ranked sixth-highest among all NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision cornerbacks, according to PFF.
He also ranked among the NCAA FBS in interceptions (tied for seventh with 5) and passes defended (tied for 13th with 15). A first-team All-Sun Belt Conference selection, Straughter led the league in both categories (tied Appalachian State's Shaun Jolly and Coastal Carolina's Chandler Kryst for the conference lead in interceptions).
