Oklahoma football: Baker Mayfield, Eric Striker named second-team AP All-Americans

Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield and linebacker Eric Striker were named to The Associated Press All-America second team Sunday.

Mayfield threw for 3,389 yards with 35 touchdowns and just five interceptions during the regular season, helping the Sooners into the College Football Playoff, where they'll play Clemson in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 31 (3 p.m., ESPN).

Striker has 61 tackles, 7.5 sacks and 11 quarterback hurries this season as a senior. He also had an interception and a forced fumble.

Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson earned first-team AP honors at quarterback while Navy's Keenan Reynolds was the third-team representative at the position.
