KENNESAW, Ga.- Bryson Armstrong continues to collect postseason accolades after his monster junior season, as he was named to the Associated Press All-America Second Team, the organization announced today (Dec. 17).

Armstrong joins C.J. Collins (2018) as the only two student-athletes from Kennesaw State to be named to the Second Team list. 

The Marietta, Ga., native guided the No. 4 defense in the country with 95 tackles. He earned the 2019 Big South Defensive Player of the Year award after adding 12.0 tackles-for-loss, 3.5 sacks, a fumble recovery and an interception to his tab. The 2017 Jerry Rice Award winner made a massive impact in the Owls' two postseason games this season, turning in double-digit tackles in each contest. Against Wofford, he forced a fumble in the fourth quarter that turned the momentum in the Owls' favor that eventually propelled Kennesaw State into the second round of the FCS Playoffs.
 
In addition to the double-digit tackles games in each playoff game, Armstrong collected 13 tackles at Missouri State, 12 against Charleston Southern and 10 versus North Alabama. Against the Lions, the junior lived in the North Alabama backfield and collected 2.5 tackles-for-loss, his season high. His sole interception came against Campbell, where he returned the turnover for 11 yards en route to a 38-35 win.

He is the fifth member in Kennesaw State history to be named an AP All American and is joined by Collins (Second Team, 2018), Chandler Burks (Third Team, 2017 and 2018) and Zach Mitchler (Third Team, 2017).
