NEW HAVEN,
CT -- University of Delaware senior
cornerback and co-captain Sidney
Haugabrook (at right), who capped an
outstanding career by leading the Blue
Hens to the Atlantic 10 Conference title
and a berth in the NCAA I-AA football
quarterfinals this fall, has been named to
the Walter Camp Football Foundation first
team All-American squad announced
Friday.
Haugabrook,
a 5-10, 185 lb. consumer economics major
from Atlanta, GA (Woodward Academy), was
one of 25 players honored in voting
conducted by NCAA I-AA sports information
directors and head football coaches. He
was one of five Atlantic 10 players
honored on the team. He also becomes the
first Blue Hen cornerback to earn
All-American honors since Ken Lucas earned
third team Associated Press honors in 1986
and the first to earn first team honors
since George Schmitt was honored by the
Associated Press in 1982.
The Walter
Camp team was the first All-American team
announced this season. The Sports Network,
American Football Coaches Association, and
Associated Press all plan to announce
their All-American teams next week.
Haugabrook,
who became just the second player in UD
history to earn all-conference honors all
four years when he was a first team
All-Atlantic 10 Conference selection,
capped an outstanding season in 2004 as he
led the Blue Hens to a 9-4 mark, a share
of the Atlantic 10 title, and a berth in
the I-AA quarterfinals before falling to
William & Mary 44-38 in double
overtime.
He posted
67 tackles on the season, including 65
solo stops, and added 2.5 tackles for
loss, two interceptions, seven pass
breakups, two fumble recoveries, and two
forced fumbles. Also one of the nation's
most feared kick returners, he averaged
11.4 yards on 27 punt returns, returning
two for touchdowns, and averaged 27.0
yards on 27 kickoff returns, including one
touchdown.
For his
career, Haugabrook set seven school
records, establishing school standards for
career starts (51), consecutive starts
(51), tackles by a cornerback (303), punt
returns yards in a career (937), punt
returns for a touchdown in a season (2)
and career (3), and kickoff returns yards
in a season (728). He also recorded 12
career interceptions and 26 pass breakups.
The other
Atlantic 10 Conference selections were
quarterback Lang Campbell of William &
Mary, wide receiver David Ball of New
Hampshire, offensive lineman Adam Bourget
of Northeastern, and defensive back
Shannon James of Massachusetts.
