A trio of Purdue Boilermakers received the distinction of being named Freshman All Americans by College Football News on Tuesday. Running back Devin Mockobee, offensive lineman Marcus Mbow, and defensive lineman Khordae Sydnor all received the honor after putting together an impressive first season for the Boilers on their way to an 8-4 regular season record, and appearance in the B1G Championship, and earning an invitation to the Citrus Bowl.
Earning 2nd Team All American honors, Marcus Mbow proved to be a stallwart on the inside for the Boilers. Mbow consistently graded out well in both the passing and running games where his size and athleticism make him an intriguing prospect at the next level.
