KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis was named an All-American by USA Today, Sports Illustrated and the Walter Camp Football Foundation today. The awards come a day after he was named a Sporting News All-American.

Davis posted his third-straight 1,400-yard season this year, finishing the regular season with a career-high 91 catches for 1,427 yards and 18 touchdowns. His 18 TDs leads the FBS. Earlier this year he became the all-time leading FBS receiver in history. He now has 5,212 yards in four seasons and is the first receiver in FBS history with four seasons of 900+ yards.

Last week he was named the Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Year, as well as Offensive MVP of the 2016 MAC Championship game. Davis is now a four-time All-MAC player, including three straight seasons as a first-team selection. He is the first Bronco wide receiver to be named MAC Offensive Player of the Year since Greg Jennings in 2005 and just the second WMU wide receiver to earn the award in program history.

Davis' first-team All-America honors on the USA Today team make him the first player in Western Michigan history since 1982 to earn first-team All-America honors. Previously Matt Meares earned first team honors from the Football Coaches Association as a center.

Davis caught eight passes for 140 yards and one touchdown in the MAC Championship game, helping lead the Broncos to a 29-23 win over Ohio. The MAC title was Western Michigan's first since 1988 and just the third in school history. WMU (13-0) joins Alabama this season as the only undefeated teams in the FBS. The Broncos have accepted an invitation to the 2017 Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic and will face Wisconsin on Jan. 2 in Arlington, Texas.
