Wildcats' Oram snags All-America honors

OGDEN -- Weber State senior offensive lineman J.C. Oram has been named to the 2011 American Football Coaches Association FCS first-team All-America Team.

Oram finished his career with the Wildcats by starting all 11 games on the offensive line for the Wildcats this season. He earned Big Sky All-Conference first team honors for the second straight season. He was part of a WSU offensive line that blocked for quarterback Mike Hoke and the group of WSU's running backs, including C.J. Tuckett who rushed for over 460 yards and eight touchdowns in the final two games of the season.

For his career Oram, a native of Marriott-Slaterville and graduate of Fremont High School, played in 48 career games at Weber State and started 47 of them. He did not start in the first game of his career as a freshman but started the next 47 games for the Wildcats.

Fredette leads AP All-America team

Seniors dominated The Associated Press All-America team for the first time in five years.

Jimmer Fredette of BYU, Nolan Smith of Duke and JaJuan Johnson of Purdue, all seniors, were joined on the team Monday by junior Kemba Walker of Connecticut and freshman Jared Sullinger of Ohio State.

It's the most seniors since four made the 2006 team.

Fredette led the nation in scoring at 28.5 points per game while shooting 40.4 percent from 3-point range, a number more impressive because of the shots he lets fly from well behind the line.

He received all but one vote from the 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. The voting was done before the NCAA tournament.
