Wallace Receives AFCA All-America Honors
December 31, 2020 | Cowboy Football, General
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State wide receiver Tylan Wallace has been named to the 2020 AFCA FBS Coaches' All-America Team, announced Thursday by the American Football Coaches Association.
Wallace, who was named to the second team, becomes the 14th OSU football player to earn All-America honors in multiple seasons, and he is the first since kicker/punter Quinn Sharp became a three-time All-America selection from 2010-12. Wallace's first All-America honors came during his sophomore season in 2018 when he was honored by the Associated Press, The Sporting News, the Walter Camp Football Foundation and others.
The All-America recognition in 2020 marks the 24th time since 2008 that an Oklahoma State football player has earned a spot on one of the recognized All-America teams. It also marks the fourth-consecutive season that at least one Cowboy has earned the honor.
A 2020 semifinalist for the Biletnikoff, Earl Campbell Tyler Rose and Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year Awards, Wallace finished the season as the Big 12 leader in receiving yards with 922 on the year. He also led the conference with 5.9 receptions per game and 92.2 receiving yards per game.
With a career average of 78.0 receiving yards per game, Wallace ranks No. 1 among all active FBS players in 2020. His 14 career 100-yard receiving games also mark the most of any active player this season.
In the OSU record books, Wallace wrapped up his career ranked fifth in school history in receptions (205), receiving yards (3,434) and 100-yard receiving games (14). He also finished sixth with 26 receiving touchdowns.
The AFCA All-America team, which has been selected since 1945, is the only All-America team chosen exclusively by the coaches.
