NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanderbilt true freshmen Jared Curtis and Mason Lewis were named to On3’s Midseason True Freshman All-American Team on Wednesday.
Curtis, who earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors earlier this season, has completed 101-of-161 passes for 1,242 yards. His passing yardage ranks fifth all-time by a true freshman at Vanderbilt and sits 687 yards shy of the program record. The Dickson, Tennessee, native has accounted for eight touchdowns this season, throwing for six and rushing for two, while adding 144 yards on the ground.
Lewis, a native of Queen Creek, Arizona, leads all SEC freshmen in Pro Football Focus’ coverage grade (84.5), a mark that ranks third among FBS freshmen. He has registered 34 tackles this season and is tied for second on the team with four pass breakups through seven games.
Curtis, Lewis and the Commodores travel to the Bluegrass State to face Kentucky on Saturday night. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network.
