Texas A&M has placed three true freshmen–Tyreek Chappell, Reuben Fatheree II and Bryce Foster–on The Athletic’s Freshman All-America team, released Wednesday.
Chappell and Foster were first-team selections while Fatheree earned a second-team nod.
Chappell (Philadelphia, Pa.) appeared in all 12 games as a defensive back, starting the last eight. He ranked in the top 10 on the team in tackles with 41 and registered a team-high nine pass breakups. Chappell recorded his first career interception in the win over South Carolina.
Foster (Katy, Texas) started all 12 games at center, while Fatheree (Richmond, Texas) started the final nine at right tackle and appeared in 11 total contests. The duo helped solidify a young line which paved the way for an offense that amassed nearly 2,500 yards on the ground.
