Blalock an All-American

The AP All-Americans have been named and guard Justin Blalock is Texas' only first team representative.

Aaron Ross may have won the Thorpe Award as the best defensive back in the nation, but according to the AP, he wasn't even one of the top two corners. Leon Hall of Michigan and Daymeion Hughes of California are on the first team, and Ross is relegated to the second.

Michael Griffin is also on the second team meaning that somehow half of the Texas secondary that was exploited all season got All-American recognition.

The Big 12's only other first-teamer was Baylor's Daniel Sepulveda. Sepulveda, a linebacker turned punter, is the NCAA's only two-time Ray Guyy award winner.
