Utah senior defensive tackle Star Lotulelei was
named as a first-team Walter Camp All-American on Thursday on the ESPN
College Football Awards show.
Lotulelei was one of six Pac-12 players named
to the first team. Lotulelei becomes the eighth Ute to earn Walter Camp
honors and the fourth to win first-team recognition. Previous Utah
first-team Walter Camp All-Americans were offensive lineman Jordan Gross
(2002), kicker Louie Sakoda (2008) and punt returner Shaky Smithson
(2010). Second-team Walter Camp selections were quarterback Alex Smith
(2004), defensive back Eric Weddle (2006), and offensive linemen Zane
Beadles (2009) and Caleb Schlauderaff (2010). All of Utah’s previous
Walter Camp All-Americans, with the exception of Sakoda, are currently
playing in the NFL. The 6-foot-4, 320-pound Lotulelei, a two-time first-team all-Pac-12
selection, finished the season with 42 tackles, including a team-high 11
tackles for loss and five sacks. The senior also had four pass
breakups, four fumble recoveries and three forced fumbles. He leads the
Pac-12 and is tied for second in the nation in fumble recoveries (4).
