SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento State quarterback Carson Conklin and wide receiver Danny Scudero were each named to the FCS Football Central Freshman All-America team, it was announced today.
 
The honor is the latest for Conklin who finished third in the Jerry Rice Award voting. The redshirt freshman played in all 12 games for the game, starting the final 10. He led all FCS quarterbacks in the regular season with 261 pass completions, 2,876 passing yards and 28 passing touchdowns. Each of those marks set Sacramento State single-season records by a freshman and his 28 touchdown passes ranked second in school history regardless of class. Conklin completed the year with four 300-yard games and threw two more touchdown passes in eight contests.
 
Scudero ranked third on the team with 54 receptions for 667 yards and five receiving scores. He caught at least one pass in each of the 11 games in which he appeared and had three more receptions in nine games. The redshirt freshman recorded his highest yardage total in the Causeway Classic where he had 140 receiving yards on seven catches. He also cracked the century mark with 102 receiving yards on only four receptions against Nicholls.
 
Sacramento State was one of just four schools to have multiple selections on the offensive side of the FCS Football Central Freshman All-America team. The Hornets were joined by Eastern Kentucky, Monmouth and North Dakota State as the only teams with two offensive honorees.
