CLEVELAND, Ohio - Jamarko Simmons and Louis Delmas were two of five Mid-American Conference football student-athletes to earn a spot on Phil Steele's All-American Team.  Western Michigan was the only MAC program to have two of its members make the squad with Simmons earning third team at wide receiver and Delmas earning fourth team at safety.

Simmons (Flint, Mich./Flint Central HS) is cementing his legacy in Western Michigan football with another break out season at wide receiver, joining Greg Jennings, Tony Knox and Steve Neal as the only WMU receivers to ever earn First Team All-MAC in back-to-back seasons. Simmons leads the MAC in receptions with a school record-tying 98 and is second in receiving yards with 1,184. He has already eclipsed Jennings' career record for receptions and stands at the top with 248. He is just 76 yards from breaking the single-season record for receiving yards.

Delmas (North Miami Beach, Fla./North Miami Beach HS) follows up Second Team All-MAC Defense selections in 2005 and 2007 with the first, first team nod of his career. Delmas was the leader on the defensive side of the ball, leading the team with 100 tackles through 12 games. He is the first Bronco to have 100 or more stops since Jason Babin (115) and Kevin Ford (111) both accomplished the feat in 2003. Delmas opened the season with three-straight games of 10 or more tackles, currently leading the team with five such games, and three interceptions. He registered his first pick-six against Idaho and leads the Broncos with four interceptions.

Both had already earned Phil Steele's First Team All-MAC earlier this month and First Team All-MAC as announced by the league office at the conclusion of the regular season.  Western Michigan faces Rice in the 2008 Texas Bowl at 7 p.m. CST on Dec. 30.  For tickets call 1-888-4-WMU-TIX or visit www.wmubroncos.com/texasbowl.
