NEW YORK Armanti Edwards, Terrell Hudgins and Deji Karim, the finalists for the FCS version of the Heisman Trophy, highlight The Associated Press All-America team for Division I's second tier.
The team was announced Wednesday and included Weber State senior offensive lineman Kyle Mutcher and senior defensive back Josh Morris.
Edwards, the Appalachian State quarterback, Hudgins, a receiver from Elon, and Karim, a running back from Southern Illinois, are also up the Walter Payton Award, which will be handed out Thursday night.
Edwards was an All-American and Payton award winner last season. The senior could become the first two-time winner of the Payton award and end his career as one of the most celebrated players in the history of I-AA football.
He led Appalachian State to two national titles and its famous upset of Michigan in 2007.
