A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
Louisiana Tech junior cornerback Amik Robertson was voted to the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) All-America Team, the organization announced Monday afternoon.

Discuss it here.
So where's the FWAA 1st Team All America list, NewsBot?
The FWAA is one of the best All America teams. This is truly an honor for Amik Robertson and his teammates. But, this story would have much more meaning if you actually showed the list of other players sharing 1st Team All America honors with Robertson.
Congrats Amik. This is fantastic.
Full list will be announced 12/19Originally Posted by HogDawg
Leading up to the announcement of the 2019 FWAA All-America Team presented by the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Dec. 19, one player will be spotlighted for the next 8 weekdays.
Congratulations to @_YoungTruth7 from @LATechFB on being a First-Team Selection!
Top 10 player all-time at Tech?
Highly recruited
Lived up to the hype and then some
Gave everything every game
Class act on and off the field

I think you definitely have to put him up there.
As he has pointed out on Twitter, his receiver wasn't even targeted the last 2 games of the season. Talk about demanding respect from the other team!
He's right. Opposing offenses went away from Amik and picked on Michael Sam. Marshall exploited that first and UAB took notes.
Sources tell me Amik Robertson/CB/La Tech will enter the draft and may not play in the team's bowl game. Robertson comes off a huge year which included 60 tckls, 5 INT's and 16 PBU's.

As I read further, it looks like this is fake news...at least the part about him not playing in the bowl game.Sources tell me Amik Robertson/CB/La Tech will enter the draft and may not play in the team's bowl game. Robertson comes off a huge year which included 60 tckls, 5 INT's and 16 PBU's.

If he does enter the draft this year what round do you predict?
This mock draft has him going in R3 https://www.scout.com/football/nfl/n...eplace-rivers/
When programs like Bama, LSU, Ohio State, etc...have these kids enter the draft early it's like, no big deal, good luck to 'em (we have someone just as good or better waiting in the wings). But for Tech, this is disappointing and detrimental to the team's prospects for next year. Yeah, I know all the personal reasons for Amik doing it. Just stating the obivous as it relates to Tech. Dwayne is offering him as one of the top 10 players all-time in Tech history. And, maybe he is...which is all the more reason to be disappointed by this. We don't get kids this quality (and in bunches) every year.
He has nothing left to prove at the college level. I hate it that we are unlikely to have him next year, but entering the draft is a no brainer. At his size, it would be hard to go much higher than the 3rd. Good luck to him.

Amik posted this morning on his twitter account that this Tony Pauline report was false.
Hope he stays for the bowl game. We will need him against Miami. We need the whole team there and at their very best to have a chance to be competitive and win.
