Four Auburn Tigers named to Associated Press All-America Teams

Auburn junior quarterback Cam Newton and junior defensive tackle Nick Fairley have been named to the Associated Press All-America first team, senior offensive tackle Lee Ziemba was a second-team pick and senior center Ryan Pugh was named to the third team, it was announced Tuesday. Newton, Fairley and Ziemba have now each been named a first-team All-American by three of the five All-America teams used by the NCAA to determine consensus All-Americans. All three were named All-Americans by the Walter Camp Football Foundation, Newton and Ziemba were recognized by the American Football Coaches Association and Ziemba and Fairley were named All-Americans by the Football Writers Association of America. The Sporting News has yet to name its All-America squad.
