Two Aggies Named FWAA Freshman All-Americans
Texas A&M's offensive line was buoyed by young talent in 2021, with a pair of freshmen making multiple starts along the front due to injuries.
On Monday, those freshmen, tackle Rueben Fatheree and center Bryce Foster, got their deserved recognition, with both being named to the Football Writers Association Of American Freshman All-American teams.
Fatheree, who played in 11 games and started nine of those for the Aggies, was also named to the SEC All-Freshman Team by the SEC coaches and was named a second-team Freshman All-American by The Athletic.
Fatheree made his first start of the season against Arkansas, and never relinquished his spot from there.
Foster, on the other hand, started all 12 of the Aggies' regular season games and was also named to the SEC All-Freshman Team by SEC coaches and, was named a first-team Freshman All-American by The Athletic.
