PISCATAWAY, N.J. - For the second consecutive year, Rutgers junior RB Ray Rice (New Rochelle, N.Y.) has been named a Second Team All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation. The Walter Camp All-America team is selected by the head coaches and sports information directors of the 119 Football Bowl Subdivision schools and is the nation's oldest All-America team, now in its 118th year.
Rice, a finalist for the Doak Walker Award which recognizes the top running back in the nation, became the first Scarlet Knight in 138 years of football to rush for three consecutive 1,000 yard seasons, including back-to-back 1,700 yard campaigns. He was also the first to rush for 20 touchdown seasons in consecutive seasons. For his career, Rice set the yardage mark in school history with 4,646 yards on the ground and has 24 100-yard games in 37 contests.
The Scarlet Knights return to action January 5, 2008 in the International Bowl vs. Ball State. Kickoff is set for 12 noon from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario with national television coverage on ESPN2.
