Utah State's Savon Scarver was named a consensus All-American as a returner/all-purpose player on Thursday.
Scarver joins tackle Merlin Olsen (1961) and defensive end Phil Olsen (1969) as Utah State's only consensus All-Americans. He is also just the 16th player in Mountain West history to be named a consensus All-American.
In all, 17 different schools from six conferences (including independents) were represented on the All-America team (a total of 27 players selected).
The native of Las Vegas, Nevada, received first-team All-America honors from two of the five outlets that comprise the NCAA Consensus All-America team in the Walter Camp Football Foundation and the Football Writers Association of America.
