WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army Black Knights are represented by nine different cadet-athletes on the 2021 Phil Steele All-Independent Team, as announced by the organization on Tuesday evening.
In addition to being named a Third Team All-American by the Associated Press, outside linebacker Andre Carter II highlighted the announcement by becoming the first Black Knight in recent Academy history to be named a Phil Steele All-American, landing a spot on the Second Team.
Carter was also one of five Cadets tabbed to the All-Independent First Team, joined by defensive back Marquel Broughton, nose tackle Nolan Cockrill, outside linebacker Arik Smith and running back Tyrell Robinson, who received the nod as a punt returner.
