Three First-Team Choices, Eight Second-Team Nods
WEST POINT, N.Y. – Linebacker Jeremy Timpf, defensive back Chris Carnegie and punter Alex Tardieu were first team selections and running back Joe Walker, tight end Kelvin White, offensive linemen Matt Hugenberg and Drew Hennessey, kicker Daniel Grochowski, defensive lineman T.J. Atimalala, linebacker Andrew King and defensive back Josh Jenkins were second team choices on the College Sports Madness Preseason All-Independent Football Teams that were announced Friday.
The staff at College Sports Madness selected the two teams, projecting those players to make significant contributions during the 2015 season.
Timpf, a junior co-captain, made a team-best 117 tackles in 2014, with 14.5 tackles for loss. Carnegie registered 54 tackles and intercepted three passes, one of which he returned for a touchdown. Tardieu, who averaged 39.3 yards per punt last season and pinned the opponent inside the 50-yard line on 18 occasions, rounded out the first-team choices.
Walker ran 18 times last season, threw a touchdown pass and hauled in five receptions is among eight Army West Point players on the second team. White snared six passes for 72 yards and helped Hugenberg and Hennessey lead a rushing attack that ranked fifth in the country. King was third on the team with 63 tackles last season and a team-best five quarterback sacks. Jenkins posted 64 tackles and broke up eight passes, while Atimalala competed in all 12 games.
