Hargreaves Earns Associated Press All-America Honors
Tuesday, December 16, 2014 | Football
Vernon Hargreaves III was selected to the 2014 Associated Press All-America Second Team, as announced by the AP.
Hargreaves totaled 45 tackles on the season, with two interceptions and a league-leading 13 passes broken up, besting his record-setting 11 pass break ups recorded last season, which equaled the most by a true freshman in school history, matching the total Janoris Jenkins had in 2008.
The sophomore was recently named to both the AP and Coaches' All-SEC First Team, the CBS Sports All-America First Team and the Walter Camp All-America Second Team.
