Houston, we have an All-American mention

Justin Houston can now add “All-American” to his award totals.

The Georgia junior was named to the first-team All-American list by the Football Writers Association of America on Saturday. Houston was voted onto the team by a 12-member media panel from across the country, one representing each conference and one national writer

Houston was one of seven SEC players on the list of 25 players. Auburn had two players picked – but Cam Newton was not one of them. The quarterback picked to the first team was Boise State’s Kellen Moore.

Auburn offensive lineman Lee Ziemba and defensive tackle Nick Fairley were pickeed. So were two LSU players, cornerback Patrick Peterson and kicker Josh Jasper.

The other SEC picks were South Carolina receiver Alshon Jeffery and Alabama safety Mark Barron.
