Holker Picks Up ESPN and AFCA All-American Honors
12/15/2023 12:09:00 PM | Football
All five of the NCAA official selectors named Holker to their teams.
Â
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Dallin Holker added two more All-American teams to his resume this week as the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and ESPN both featured Holker as the second team tight end on their squads.
With the AFCA's inclusion, Holker jumped into unanimous second team All-America territory, the first-ever Ram to do so. He follows Trey McBride - the only unanimous first team All-American in program history - as well as Greg Myers, Mike Bell, Rashard Higgins, and Michael Gallup who were consensus first team All-Americans.
Â
All-America season has now likely concluded, and Holker, who declared his intention to enter the 2024 NFL Draft, wracked up a bevy of accolades from across the nation in his lone season at Colorado State.Â
Â
The Lehi, Utah native finished as a runner up for the 2023 John Mackey Award after a remarkable season with the Rams. His 64 receptions and 767 receiving yards were the most by any tight end during the 2023 regular season and ranked No. 40 and No. 69, respectively, among all pass catchers. Holker's 10 contested catches, as graded by Pro Football Focus, were the most by any tight end, and his six touchdown receptions ranked third among tight ends.
Within the program's single-season record book, Holker concluded his junior season among the very best. His six touchdown receptions tied for the most in a single season by a CSU tight end, and his receptions and receiving yards rank No. 3 and No. 2, respectively.
