Bobcat sophomores reel in honors on Tuesday

By: MSU Sports Information

BOZEMAN, Montana – Montana State quarterback Troy Andersen continued to pile up post-season honors on Tuesday, with some company from a player who helped clear his way in 2018.

Andersen was named STATS FCS Third Team All-America as an all-purpose player, and added First Team Sophomore All-America honors from Hero Sports. In addition, offensive guard Lewis Kidd earned Sophomore All-America Honorable Mention plaudits from Hero.

Andersen, who earned consensus First Team All-Big Sky honors this season, rushed for 1,412 yards as a sophomore and threw for 1,195. His 21 touchdowns was a Bobcat single-season record. Kidd started all 13 games for the Bobcats as part of an offensive line that was among the nation's top 20 in most rushing yards and fewest sacks allowed.

Andersen becomes the first Bobcat to earn All-America honors since JP Flynn in 2016. Kidd joins freshmen Connor Wood, an offensive tackle, and running back Isaiah Ifanse as class All-Americans named by Hero.
