A.J. Haulcy’s standout true freshman season for the New Mexico Lobos earned him another honor on Tuesday.
Haulcy, a a 6-foot-1, 220-pound safety from Missouri City, Texas, has been named a first-team freshman All-American by the College Football News.
Earlier, Haulcy was accorded the same status by Pro Football Focus.
During the season, Haulcy twice was named the Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Week. He made the All-MWC second-team at season’s end.
When a true freshman registers 24 tackles in a single game, as Haulcy did against Fresno State on Oct. 22, that’s bound to make an impression.
