Brown Garners AP All-America Accolades

ATLANTA – Ole Miss junior wide receiver A.J. Brown was named third team Associated Press All-American, the publication announced on Monday.

It is the second straight season Brown has earned third team All-America honors from the AP.

Brown, who has officially declared for the 2019 NFL Draft last week, re-wrote the receiving record books in his three years at Ole Miss. He is the all-time leading receiver in Ole Miss history with 2,984 yards. He had 12 100-yard receiving performances during his career, also a program record.

The Starkville, Mississippi, native amassed 1,320 yards in 2018, breaking his own single-season school record of 1,252, set last season. He's the only player in Ole Miss history with two 1,000-yard seasons to his name. Brown also set the Ole Miss single-season receptions record with 85 catches this year.

Despite playing alongside two other NFL Draft prospects at the receiver position, Brown leads the SEC and ranks sixth in the nation with 110.0 receiving yards per game. He's also first in the SEC and is 10th in FBS with 7.1 receptions per game.
