BOISE, Idaho – Boise State redshirt senior Avery Williams was named to the 2020 AP All-America Third Team as an all-purpose player, Monday.
Williams leads the nation this season with four special teams touchdowns, scoring on a pair of kickoff returns and two punt returns.
In the Mountain West Championship, he returned a punt 69 yards for a touchdown to tie the NCAA record for career return touchdowns with nine (six punts, three kickoffs).
He is the only player to rank in the top 20 nationally in both punt returns (third, 15.3 average) and kickoff returns (12th, 28.1).
A native of Pasadena, Calif., Williams was also named USA Today All-America First Team as a kick returner this season.
Williams is the first Boise State returner to be an All-American since Kyle Wilson in 2008 and the first the Bronco to earn a first-team honor on special teams since place kicker Mike Dodd (Kodak) in 1992.
