University of Kentucky senior linebacker Josh Allen was named a consensus All-American by the NCAA Thursday. To be selected a player must be named first team on at least two of the five selected All-America teams. Allen was one of eight players who were unanimous choices at specific positions by the five organizations used in the consensus chart — American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, The Sporting News and Walter Camp Foundation.
The Montclair, NJ native is UK’s first consensus All-American since wide receiver/kick returner Derek Abney in 2002 and the first unanimous selection since defensive lineman Art Still in 1977.
