The Associated Press annual FCS All-American team features the selection of six HBCU players.

The lone player selected to the first team is North Carolina Central defensive back and MEAC Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Baker.

Baker finished second in the MEAC with four interceptions and tied for second with nine passes defended as part of an Eagles’ defense that will face Jackson State in Saturday’s Celebration Bowl.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff offensive lineman Mark Evans II added another notch to his resume by being selected to the offensive second team.

This is the third FCS All-American honor he has received this season along with a Hero Sports FCS All-American selection and place on the Phil Steele FCS All-American team.
