Arizona's Scooby Wright named to AP All-America team


Arizona sophomore linebacker Scooby Wright is a first-team selection on The Associated Press All-America team.
This honor follows three national awards won by Wright last week: The Chuck Bednarik and Bronko Nagurski awards, given by rival organizations to the nation's defensive player of the year, and the Lombardi Award as the nation's best lineman/linebacker.
Wright is one of seven Pac-12 players on the first team -- the most of any conference. The other Pac-12 representatives are Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, Washington all-purpose player Shaq Thompson, Washington defensive tackle Danny Shelton, Washington linebacker Hau'oli Kikaha, Oregon cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu and Utah punter Tom Hackett.
Washington and Florida State were the only schools with three first-team selections. Oregon and Alabama each had two first-team picks.
