Wallace Named to AP and ESPN All-America Teams
December 10, 2018 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State wide receiver Tylan Wallace received more All-America honors Monday as he was named to the AP All-America second team and the ESPN All-America team.
Also a finalist for the 2018 Biletnikoff Award, Wallace led the nation during the regular season with 59 receptions of 10 yards or longer, tied for the FBS lead with 25 receptions of 20 yards or longer and tied for the national lead with 18 catches of 25 yards or longer. His 17.82 yards per reception also led the FBS among players with a minimum of 60 catches, while his 1,408 total receiving yards ranked third nationally and his 61 first-down receptions led all Power Five conference players and ranked second nationally. He was also a first-team All-Big 12 honoree and a second-team Academic All-Big 12 selection.
A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Wallace also did his best work on the biggest stages this season. In OSU's three games against teams ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll, he averaged 5.6 receptions, 168.0 receiving yards and 2.0 receiving touchdowns per game.
Other notable accomplishments from Wallace's season included him becoming the first player in school history to post two 200-yard receiving games against ranked opponents in the same season, producing four consecutive 100-yard receiving games to join Justin Blackmon as the only OSU underclassmen to achieve that feat and posting seven 100-yard receiving games to tie for the fifth-most in a single season in school history.
He was also honored as a second team selection on the Walter Camp and Sports Illustrated All-America teams last week.
