A pair of Kentucky youngsters have been named Freshman All-Americans by Pro Football Focus.
Wide receiver Barion Brown and defensive lineman Deone Walker each earned the honors after astounding first seasons in Lexington.
Brown made an immediate impact, finishing the regular season with 45 receptions for 604 yards and four touchdowns. He was also a weapon on special teams, returning a kickoff back for a touchdown while also making multiple big plays happen from out of the end zone.
As for Walker, the big man touted 39 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, five quarterback hurries, two pass breakups and a forced fumble. Over the course of the season he began to come into his own, wrecking his way past SEC offensive linemen and making a living in opposing backfields.
