Vernon Adams only needed to play 10 games for Eastern Washington to become an All-American.
Adams was chosen the first-team quarterback for The Associated Press FCS All-America team released Wednesday after a remarkable – yet abbreviated – season.
The junior broke his foot against Idaho State on Oct. 4 and missed four games. Because he missed so much time, Adams doesn’t qualify to rank among the NCAA per-game leaders. If he did, he’d be leading FCS in total offense (376.8), yards passing (348.3) and points responsible for (24.8). He is second in touchdown passes with 35 and would be second in passer efficiency rating (169.2).
Three-time defending national champion North Dakota State and Eastern Washington each had three players on the first team, the most of any school.
The Bison are represented by defensive end Kyle Emanuel, the Buck Buchanan Award winner as the top defensive player in FCS, along with offensive lineman Joe Haeg and defensive back Colten Heagle.
Adams is joined on the first team by his favorite receiver, Cooper Kupp, and offensive lineman Jake Rodgers.
