Western Michigan's Okorafor Named Walter Camp Second Team All-American
KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Western Michigan senior left tackle Chukwuma Okorafor has been named a Walter Camp Second Team All-American. The nation's oldest All-America squad in its 128th year, Walter Camp selections were announced this evening on The Home Depot ESPN College Football Awards Show.
It is the second year in the row that Western Michigan has produced a Walter Camp recognition. Okorafor becomes the third Bronco ever to earn the honor. Wide receiver Corey Davis was a second team selection last season and wide receiver Jordan White was a second team pick in 2012.
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.
