Pitta = 1st Team All-American

Dennis was voted first team in the 2009 AFCA Coaches’ All-America Team announced Thursday by the American Football Coaches Association. Hughes was also first team.

Congrats!

Well deserved honor for the best TE in the country.

What is with the two linemen from Oklahoma on this list? Their o-line was terrible.

This bodes well for the Mackey award. It means that people have been paying attention to Dennis outside of our obvious circle.



As for the OU linemen; I get Trent Williams on the team; he's a beast, it was the rest of the Oline that was awful.



The other lineman is not an OU player. He's from Oklahoma State, probably just a typo from usually reliable Jay Drew.

It should be no surprise that Pitta made it, I don't know of another tight end in the country having even remotely the kind of year he has had. Congrats to Pitta, Hughes and all the All-Americans.
