Aggies DE Myles Garrett again named a Walter Camp All American
For the second consecutive year, Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett is a member of the Walter Camp All America first team. Despite a significant leg injury in 2016, Garrett remained a game-changer for the Aggies.
ATLANTA — Texas A&M junior defensive end Myles Garrett was named to the Walter Camp All-America team for a second straight season on Thursday after a strong campaign for the Aggies.
Garrett, from Arlington, Texas, received the honor in conjunction with the 2016 Home Depot College Football Awards Show, which was broadcast via ESPN from the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, Ga. Garrett was at the Award Show as a finalist for the Bednarik Award, which is given annually to the college defensive player of the year. Also named to the All-SEC first team by the league head coaches this week, Garrett finished the regular season with a team-best 8.5 sacks, 15.0 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles.
