Maclin Named to AP All-American Team

December 18th, 2008 by Maclin Zone

Missouri Tigers sophomore wideout/return specialist Jeremy Maclin was named a first-team selection on The Associated Press All-America team. This marks his second consecutive first-team AP selection.

Maclin leads major-college football in all-purpose yards with 203.54 a game — just over 20 yards more than second-place Jahvid Best of California. Maclin has 95 catches for 1,221 yards and has scored 15 touchdowns.

With stats like that, there’s a lot of talk about Jeremy heading to the NFL. He’s been pretty quiet on the topic the past few weeks (which usually means they’re gone). As for the premise that he would leave if projected as a first-round pick, Maclin said, “There’s a lot more you’ve got to factor into it.”
