Maryland senior linebacker Tre Watson was named second team All-America on Monday by the Football Writers Association of America.
Watson is Maryland’s first All-American since William Likely III garnered first-team recognition by the FWAA and second-team accolades from USA Today as a return specialist in 2015. Before Watson, the last Terps linebacker to receive All-America honors was E.J. Henderson, who was a two-time consensus first-team All-American in 2001 and 2002.
“To be honored as an All-American is extremely humbling and a blessing for me,” Watson said in a release.
