Berry Earns Two More All-American Honors
December 12, 2015 | Football
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Evan Berry continues to rack up All-American honors. He was been recognized as a first team All-American by Sports Illustrated and a second team All-American by FOX Sports. They are his third and fourth All-American honors. He has also been named to the Walter Camp first team and CBS Sports second team.
In 2015, Berry has emerged as the nation's top kick returner, leading the country in kick return average (38.3) and tying for second with three returns brought back for a touchdown. On Nov. 2, Berry became the first Volunteer kick returner to be named SEC Special Teams Player of the Week since Cordarrelle Patterson in 2012. His three kickoff returns for a touchdown tied the UT single-season record set by Willie Gault in 1980. Berry's total of 804 overall return yards (both kickoff and punt return yards) ranks as the fourth-most in a season in Tennessee history. His 34.8 career kickoff return average is also a new Tennessee record.
