The 63 players are representative of the 63 scholarships allowed to teams that compete in FCS.<\/p>\n<p>Price, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound redshirt freshman, broke nearly all of Appalachian State&#8217;s freshman receiving records &#8211; many previously held by the school&#8217;s all-time leading receiver and current St. Louis Rams player Brian Quick &#8211; as he caught 81 passes for 1,196 yards, a 14.8 average and eight touchdowns in 10 games.<\/p>\n<p>The Southern Conference freshman of the year was sixth nationally in both receptions per game (8.1) and receiving yards per game (119.6) and was 10th in total receiving yards.<\/p>\n<p>He shattered FCS records for freshman receptions (Cal State Northridge&#8217;s Drew Amerson had 71 in 1999) and freshman receiving yards (Marshall&#8217;s Randy Moss with 1,073 in 1996).<\/p>\n<p>Robertson, the Jerry Rice Award winner (Price placed third), helped lead the biggest turnaround in FCS this season as Villanova improved from 2-9 to 8-4 and won the Colonial Athletic Association automatic playoff bid.<\/p>\n<p>The multi-talented quarterback who rushed for 1,021 yards and 14 touchdowns and passed for 1,965 yards and threw for 14 more scores, while throwing just seven interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Robertson, who took over as Villanova&#8217;s starting quarterback after a season-opening loss to Temple, went on to win CAA freshman of the year honors.<\/p>\n<p>Price was one of a team-leading four Appalachian State players named to the squad, joining guard Shaq Counts, defensive end Davante Harris and wide receiver Malachi Jones.<\/p>\n<p>Eastern Washington and North Dakota State had three players honored. Quarterback Vernon Adams, returnman Shaquille Hill and safety Jordan Tanani made the squad for the Eagles, while guard Josh Colville, punter Ben LeCompte and defensive tackle Brian Schaetz were selected for the Bison.<\/p>\n<p>Cornell, Delaware, Indiana State, Montana, Northern Iowa and Southern Utah each placed two players on the squad.<\/p>\n<p>The Missouri Valley Conference led all leagues with 13 selections, followed by the Big Sky Conference with 10 honorees. All 13 FCS conferences were represented and 49 individual teams were honored.<\/p>\n<p>The All-Freshman team was selected by a blue ribbon panel of FCS experts put together by College Sports Journal executive editor David Coulson and CSJ publisher and managing editor Chuck Burton.<\/p>\n<p>Coulson has 36 years of experience covering college football, including 21 seasons of following FCS and has served as the executive editor and managing partner of College Sporting News and the executive director for The Sports Network, running its national awards program from 2007-2009.<\/p>\n<p>He has had a hand in selecting honors teams at the FCS level since 2002 and is in the process of writing and compiling the first FCS encyclopedia.<\/p>\n<p>Burton has been acclaimed for his Lehigh Football Nation blog and as a national columnist for College Sporting News in the past decade.<\/p>\n<p>The College Sports Journal will announce its first All-America team, including offensive and defensive players of the year, coach of the year, lineman of the year and special teams player of the year on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>College Sports Journal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>FRESHMAN ALL-AMERICA TEAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CO-FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sean Price, Appalachian State, Wide Receiver<\/p>\n<p>John Robertson, Villanova, Quarterback<\/p>\n<p><strong>OFFENSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quarterback John Robertson, Villanova<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quarterback Sawyer Kollmorgen, Northern Iowa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quarterback Josh Woodrum, Liberty<\/p>\n<p>Quarterback Vernon Adams, Eastern Washington<\/p>\n<p>Running Back Luke Hagy, Cornell<\/p>\n<p>Running Back Jake Hutson, Valparaiso<\/p>\n<p>Running Back Ryan Heaston, Missouri State<\/p>\n<p>Fullback Emmanuel Holder, Towson<\/p>\n<p>All-Purpose Back Johna&#8217; Hebert, Prairie View A&amp;M<\/p>\n<p>All-Purpose Back Darius Ramsey, Western Carolina<\/p>\n<p>Wide Receiver Sean Price, Appalachian State<\/p>\n<p>Wide Receiver Jameer Jackson, North Dakota<\/p>\n<p>Wide Receiver Larry Jones III, Charleston Southern<\/p>\n<p>Wide Receiver D.J.
