The accolades continue to pile up for one of the nation’s most dominant pass rushers.
Northern Illinois defensive end Sutton Smith was recognized as a First Team All-American by the Associated Press and a Second Team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America on Monday afternoon.
Last week, Smith was also showered with Walter Camp All-American honors as a member of the Second Team, resulting in his third major All-American selection of 2018.
In 2017, Smith was recognized as a consensus All-American, meaning he earned selections by the AP, FWAA, Walter Camp, AFCA, and Sporting News.
