Another All-America Team For Sills V
December 12, 2017 11:57 AM | Football
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Yesterday, David Sills V was named second team AP All-America.
Â
Last week, Walter Camp also named him to its All-America second team.
Â
Today, The Sporting News listed the Wilmington, Delaware, resident to its All-America first team.
Â
That's three of the five All-America teams recognized for consensus status. The Football Writers Association of America did not have Sills among its two All-America teams and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) All-America team has yet to be revealed.
Â
The 6-foot-4, 203-pound junior caught 60 passes for 980 yards and a nation's-best 18 touchdowns this year. He caught a season-high nine passes in the season opener against Virginia Tech and exploded for 153 yards and three touchdowns a week later against East Carolina.
Â
Sills also caught three TD passes in Big 12 victories over Baylor and Texas Tech.
Â
He was one of three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award, presented to college football's top wide receiver.
Â
Preparation is underway for West Virginia's Dec. 26 Saxby's Heart of Dallas Bowl game against 6-6 Utah at the historic Cotton Bowl.
Â
The team had two workouts over the weekend and will resume practice on Thursday as the University wraps up final examinations this week.
Â
The Mountaineers (7-5) will depart for Dallas on Thursday, Dec. 21, and will continue workouts down in the Big D leading into Tuesday's game against the Utes.
Â
Tickets for the game remain on sale through the Mountaineer Ticket Office and can be purchased by calling 1-800-WVU GAME or by logging on to WVUGAME.com.
