With the news that LSU safety Grant Delpit was selected to the 2018 AFCA All-American team (along with Devin White and Greedy Williams, with Cole Tracy on the second team), the sophomore has become LSU’s first unanimous All-American selection since Morris Claiborne in 2011.
Delpit is now one of just eight players in program history to be a unanimous All-American pick, joining Claiborne, Patrick Peterson, Glenn Dorsey, Nacho Albergamo, Jerry Stoval, Moonie Winston, Billy Cannon and Gaynell Tinsley.
Delpit, Williams and White together make 35 total consensus All-Americans for LSU, with the three making a first team from most of the five major selectors (the Associated Press, Walter Camp Foundation, AFCA, Football Writers Association and the Sporting News).
