Idaho punter T.J. Conley continues to chalk up post-season honors. Wednesday's list includes first team All-American by ESPN and Sporting News along with second team Associated Press recognition.
Wednesday's announcements pushed Conley's first-team All-American honors to three (he's also the Walter Camp team's first team punter). He also was a third team choice by Rivals.com to go with first-team all-Western Athletic Conference as voted by the league's coaches as well as Phil Steele's first team all-WAC.
Conley is the nation's punter leader with an average of 47.4 yards per kick ? an Idaho single-season record. On five occasions, he averaged more than 50 yards per kick during his senior season, which also saw him become the school's all-time punting yardage leader (9,242) and single-season yardage leader (2,751).
Included in his senior year accolades is his selection to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American team. A civil engineering graduate, he was a second team choice on that team.
