Dec. 11, 2009
NCAA sack leader Von Miller of Texas A&M was named to the Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America second-team.
Miller, a junior from DeSoto, Texas, has sat atop the NCAA rankings all season and finished the regular season with 17 quarterback sacks. Miller posted more than one sack in five games this season, including a career-high three sacks in two games. Miller's 17 sacks are the No. 2 sack total in school history behind two-time All-American Jacob Green's school standard of 20 sacks in 1979.
Miller's 2009 sack total was more than the Aggies' team total of 16 from 2008. With Miller leading the way, the Aggies sacked opposing quarterbacks 35 times, which more than doubled the 2008 total. The Aggies ranked No. 8 nationally with 2.92 sacks per game, and improved over 90 spots in the NCAA rankings from No. 100 in 2008 (1.33/G).
The Aggies are gearing up for an AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl matchup with the Georgia Bulldogs at 4 p.m. on Dec. 28 in Shreveport, La. For tickets, please visit Texas A&M's Ticket Center at 12thManFoundation.com or call 888-99AGGIE (992-4443).
