UCLA’s Lee and USC’s Bregel Named to Associated Press All-America Team

UCLA placekicker John Lee and USC guard Jeff Bregel Monday were named to the 1985 Associated Press All-America team.

Joining Lee and Bregel on the team were Michigan State sophomore running back Lorenzo White and Oklahoma sophomore linebacker Brian Bosworth, along with Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Bo Jackson of Auburn and Lombardi Award recipient Tony Casillas, Oklahoma’s nose guard.

It was the second appearance on the first team for Jackson, who made it in 1983 but missed out a last season when he was limited to six games because of a shoulder injury, and Casillas, one of six repeaters from last season.

The other repeaters from 1984 are Lee and Illinois wide receiver David Williams on offense and Oklahoma State tackle Leslie O’Neal, Iowa linebacker Larry Station and Arizona State defensive back David Fulcher on defense.

In addition, Miami (Fla.) tight end Willie Smith and West Virginia offensive tackle Brian Jozwiak moved up from the second team a year ago--as did Bosworth--while defensive tackle Tim Green of Syracuse was on the third team in 1984.

The rest of the All-America offensive unit consists of wide receiver Tim McGee of Tennessee, offensive tackle Jim Dombrowski of Virginia, guard John Rienstra of Temple, center Pete Anderson of Georgia and quarterback Chuck Long of Iowa.

Rounding out the defensive squad are lineman Mike Hammerstein of Michigan, linebackers Michael Brooks of LSU and Johnny Holland of Texas A&M;, deep backs Thomas Everett of Baylor and Mark Moore of Oklahoma State, and punter Barry Helton of Colorado.

Besides White and Bosworth, the only other sophomore on the first team is Helton, who finished second nationally in punting with a 46.0-yard average. Lee made good on 21 of 24 field goal attempts and became the leading kicker in NCAA history.
