Texas A&M senior Blake Stouffer was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) preseason All-America third team, the organization announced Wednesday.
Stouffer, a San Antonio native, was at or near the top of every offensive category for the Aggies last season. A consensus All-America selection and first-team All-Big 12 and all-region pick, Stouffer hit .385 with 12 home runs, 85 RBI and a .668 slugging percentage while swiping 22 bases. His 102 hits and 23 doubles in 2007 ranked third all-time on the school's charts.
Stouffer was named a third-team All-American by the NCBWA last season and was one of 16 semifinalists for the Dick Howser Trophy, which is presented by the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Area chamber of Commerce and voted upon by the NCBWA membership. He is one of five Big 12 players to earn 2008 preseason NCBWA All-America accolades.
Texas A&M opens the 2008 season on February 22 at 6:30 p.m. when the Aggies host Northern Colorado. Season tickets are available now by calling 888-99-AGGIE or by logging on to www.aggieathletics.com.
