UK's Randall Cobb has been named to first-team All-America recognition as an all-purpose player by the AP and SI

The versatile talents and performances of Kentucky wide receiver/quarterback/punt returner/kickoff returner Randall Cobb have been rewarded with first-team All-America recognition as an all-purpose player by the Associated Press and SportsIllustrated.com.
Cobb leads the Southeastern Conference in pass receiving with 79 catches for 955 yards and seven touchdowns but his value far exceeds those contributions. He also plays quarterback in the "WildCobb" formation and has rushed for 401 yards and five touchdowns and thrown three TD passes in that role.
In addition, Cobb returns punts and kickoffs, including a punt return for a touchdown this season. Cobb has 2,192 all-purpose yards, ranking second in the nation and breaking the Kentucky single-season record. During the season he broke the UK career record for touchdowns with 37.
Cobb's versatility as an all-purpose player is underscored by the fact that he is the only player in the nation who ranks first or second on his team in rushing, passing and receiving. He has put points on the board eight different ways this season - rushing, receiving and passing for touchdowns; returning a punt for a TD; throwing for a TD on a fake field goal; and notching two-point conversions by rushing, passing and receiving.

Cobb is also a finalist for the new Paul Hornung Award, which goes to the nation's most versatile player.
