ATLANTA - Louisiana Tech freshman phenom Amik Robertson’s outstanding rookie campaign was capped off with one of the nation’s top honors, as the cornerback was featured on the 17th annual Football Writers Association of America Freshman All-American Team, which was officially released on Monday.
Robertson becomes the fifth Freshman All-American in the history of Louisiana Tech football, while it marks the third straight season that a Bulldog student-athlete has been honored as a Freshman All-American (Jaylon Ferguson, 2015; Ethan Reed, 2016). Overall, Robertson is the 58th All-American in program history.
As a true freshman on the defensive side of the ball, Robertson terrorized opponents all season long and finished the 2017 season with a team-high five interceptions on the season, including one he returned 45 yards to help LA Tech clinch its fourth straight bowl victory against SMU in the DXL Frisco Bowl on Dec.
