Micah Parsons Named ESPN, Associated Press All-American

The honors just keep rolling in for Penn State football linebacker Micah Parsons.

Parsons was named an ESPN and first-team Associated Press All-American Monday afternoon following yet another dominant season with Penn State’s defense.

The sophomore linebacker totaled 95 tackles — 45 solo, 50 assisted — and 11 tackles-for-loss in his second campaign with the Nittany Lions. Parsons also notched three sacks, three quarterback hits, and 12 quarterback hurries.

Parsons’ outstanding play on the field has led to numerous honors, most notably being named Big Ten Linebacker Of The Year. He’s the 101st All-American in Penn State football history.

On top of that, Parsons was named a first-team All-American by Pro Football Focus, selected to the first-team All-Big Ten team, named a Walter Camp Football All-American, and a Bleacher Report and Sports Illustrated first-team All-American.

Parsons has taken a huge step forward from his already impressive freshman season and become an objectively elite player in his sophomore campaign. Next season, he’ll attempt to take an even bigger step forward in his third season with the Nittany Lions.
