Paly grad Adams named an All-American wide receiver

Palo Alto grad and Fresno State wide receiver Davante Adams, the nation’s top receiver, received All-America honors on Thursday.

Adams was selected to the Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America second-team and to the Athlon Sports third-team.

Bulldogs quarterback Derek Carr was a third-team selection of Athlon Sports.

Carr and Adams were the only Mountain West players selected to the 2013 Athlon Sports All-America teams.

Adams earned his second straight All-American honor, but his first time by the prestigious Walter Camp Football Foundation.

In 2012, as a freshman, Adams was a fourth-team All-America selection by Phil Steele and a honorable mention selection by Sports Illustrated.

Adams leads the nation in receptions (122), receptions per game (10.2), touchdown catches (23) and number of games with 10-plus catches (six).

His 23 touchdowns are eight more than any other FBS player and are as many or more than 87 of the 123 FBS teams.
