Alabama football lands three players on second-team Walter Camp All-America Team

Fans of Alabama football were not happy with Will Reichard (kicker) and Dallas Turner (linebacker) being snubbed for national awards, but seeing a particular All-America Team has made them very upset.

On Friday, the Walter Camp Football Foundation unveiled its All-America Team.

No player for the Crimson Tide made the first team. Alabama had three players to make the second team for Walter Camp; however, they were arguably the best at their positions. JC Latham earned recognition as an offensive tackle, Kool-Aid McKinstry gained the honor as a cornerback, and Dallas Turner was named as a linebacker. All three players helped the Tide win a Southeastern Conference Championship and make the College Football Playoff. Latham allowed two sacks in 408 pass sets all season, McKinstry allowed 183 total yards and was targeted only 37 times, and Turner carried 13.5 tackles for loss and nine sacks.

Alabama fans could not understand how none of the three made the first team.

Latham, McKinstry, and Turner are prepared to “LANK” everyone in the CFP.
