McPhatter repeats as AP All-American
For the MV Independent
Cal U senior defensive back Lamont McPhatter II recently repeated as an Associated Press First-Team All-American.
McPhatter is the program’s third AP All-American in the past four seasons and 15th overall since 2005. He joins former offensive lineman Tim McCutcheon and defensive back Rontez Miles as the only players in program history to receive AP All-America status multiple times.
As a senior, McPhatter finished with 58 tackles (32 solo) and scored two defensive touchdowns while recording a pair of interceptions and one fumble recovery.
He made at least five tackles in each of the last six games with a season-high eight tackles at West Chester.
McPhatter helped anchor the top-ranked rushing defense in the country at 56.5 yards per game. The unit yielded just three rushing touchdowns on nearly 300 carries this season.
