Western Michigan's Okorafor Named FWAA First Team All-American
KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Western Michigan senior left tackle Chukwuma Okorafor added another postseason honor as he was named by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) as First-Team All-American. Last week, Okorafor was named Walter Camp Second Team All-American.
The 6-6, 330-pound Okorafor has been a three-year starter for Western Michigan. Prior to this season he was named the No. 4 tackle to watch in the nation by Mel Kiper. Towards the end of the 2017 season he was named one of six semifinalists for the Outland Trophy. Okorafor is a two-time Mid-American Conference First Team selection.
The Broncos have had one of the top rushing offenses over the last three years. WMU ranked 29th in the nation in 2015, 24th in 2016 and 23rd in the nation this season, averaging 224.8 yards per game.
