Malcolm Rodriguez is an All-American.
The Football Writers Association of America released its All-American teams Friday, which included Rodriguez as a second-team selection.
Rodriguez led the Big 12 this season in total tackles with 119 while leading an Oklahoma State defense that ranks first nationally in sacks and tackles for loss. OSU’s defense also ranks second in third-down conversion percentage and third in total defense. Rodriguez has four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, three sacks and 15 tackles for loss this season. He eclipsed double-digit tackles in six games.
He joins Ricky Young (1981), John Corker (1978) and Cleveland Vann (1973) as the only linebackers in OSU’s history to earn All-America honors.
