Mizzou Football junior linebacker Nick Bolton was named a second-team All-American by the Associated Press Monday.
Bolton is Mizzou's first AP All-American since Kentrell Brothers in 2015. Bolton was also named to the All-SEC first team by the league's coaches and by the AP last week.
Bolton, a Butkus Award finalist, led the SEC with 67 solo tackles, while his 95 total tackles rank fifth in the league. Bolton also had 2.0 sacks, five pass break-ups and a fumble recovery this season.
Bolton, who had opted out of the now canceled Music City Bowl to prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft, ends his collegiate career with 224 total tackles, 16.0 TFL and 4.0 sacks.
