WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (Dec. 18, 2013)—The postseason accolades continue to roll in for William and Mary standout senior free safety Jerome Couplin III, as he has been selected to the Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America Team.

In addition to the Walter Camp Football Foundation honor, Couplin was also chosen as a first-team All-American by the Associated Press and The Sports Network.

Couplin established himself as one of the nation's top defensive players in 2013 and was a finalist for the Buchanan Award. A first-team all-conference selection, the team captain led the Colonial Athletic Association and ranked 10th nationally with 5.8 solo tackles per game. Additionally, the Upper Marlboro, Md., native ranked third in the CAA with 9.4 tackles per game – a figure that led the league among defensive backs.

In addition to leading the team with 113 tackles (70 solo), the two-time All-CAA honoree recorded two forced fumbles, 2.5 tackles for a loss, six PBU's and two forced fumbles. Couplin also returned a fumble 51 yards for a touchdown in the win at Delaware en route to earning CAA Defensive Player of the Week honors.

Couplin joins an impressive list of former Tribe players who have earned Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America honors, which includes Adrian Tracy (2009), Lang Campbell (2004), Mike Leach (1999), Darren Sharper (1996), Josh Beyer (1996) and Craig Staub (1993).
