-- University of Texas senior offensive lineman Derrick Dockery
(Garland, Texas) and senior defensive end Cory Redding (Houston,
Texas) both were selected as Walter Camp Football Foundation (WCFF)
All-Americans, the organization announced Thursday during ESPN's
Home Depot College Football Awards Show.
Dockery, who was named a Football Writers Association of America
All-American a week ago, has seen action at both right guard and
tackle and been a force on the Longhorns offensive line this season.
He is a key member of a UT offense that ranks fifth in the Big 12
and 17th nationally in scoring offense (33.7 ppg.). Dockery, who
has not allowed a sack this year, has helped QB Chris Simms to throw
for 2,938 yards (No. 2 on UT's single-season list) and a UT-record
24 touchdowns. He also has helped open holes for the Longhorns'
eighth consecutive 1,000-yard rusher in sophomore Cedric Benson
(1,247 yards/No. 7 on UT's single-season chart).
Redding, who was one of four finalists for the Lombardi and Hendricks
awards, is the leader of a UT defense that leads the Big 12 and
ranks 10th in the NCAA in pass defense (162.8 ypg.), second in the
league and eighth in the country in scoring defense (16.0 ppg.),
second in the Big 12 and 12th nationally in total defense (296.6
ypg.) and third in the conference and 10th in the nation in pass
efficiency defense (98.3 rtg.). The 2001 second-team All-American
(The Associated Press) ranks fourth on the team with 66 tackles
and leads the squad with 20 TFLs (T-No. 6 on UT's single-season
list), 7.5 sacks, 36 QB pressures (T-No. 8 on UT's single-season
chart), three forced fumbles and a pair fumble recoveries. He also
has posted a sack in the last seven contests.
It marks the third consecutive year that the Longhorns placed two
players on the prestigious All-America team and the 10th time in
school history. Last year, cornerback Quentin Jammer and offensive
tackle Mike Williams earned the honor, while offensive tackle Leonard
Davis and defensive tackle Casey Hampton were named to the 2000
WCFF team. Thirty-five Longhorns have earned a total of 39 All-America
honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation in school history.
The team is the widely recognized as the nation's most prestigious
and respected All-America squads. The foundation began honoring
college football players in 1889 and the All-Americans are selected
by the country's head coaches and sports information directors.
The ninth-ranked Longhorns (10-2, 6-2 Big 12) return to the practice
field next week in preparation for their matchup with LSU (8-4,
5-3 SEC) in the SBC Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day.
