Turns out, Budda Baker has achieved “consensus” All-America recognition after all.
The NCAA on Thursday released its official consensus All-America team, and the Huskies’ junior safety has made the list — making him just the second Washington player over the past 19 season to earn either consensus or unanimous All-America honors.
Hau’oli Kikaha was a unanimous selection in 2014, meaning he was named a first-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, The Sporting News and Walter Camp Foundation. Those are the five teams the NCAA officially recognizes.
