ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Junior cornerback Jourdan Lewis of the 14th-ranked University of Michigan football team was recognized as a First Team All-American by USA Today on Tuesday (Dec. 8). He is the first U-M All-American since offensive tackle Taylor Lewan (2013) and the first Wolverine defensive back to earn the honor since Leon Hall (2006).
Lewis has ascended in the U-M record books throughout the 2015 season, recording 21 pass breakups to set a new single-season program best. His 12-game total bests the previous mark of 18 shared by Marlin Jackson (2002) and Leon Hall (2006).
