Van Noy named a Walter Camp All-American

Van Noy received second-team honors on the Walter Camp All-America Team, the nation’s oldest All-America award. This year’s class marks the 124^th edition of the prestigious team. Tight end Dennis Pitta was the last BYU player to earn Walter Camp recognition in 2009.

Named to several All-America teams in 2012, Van Noy becomes the first Cougar since Pitta to receive All-America status in back-to-back seasons, something Pitta achieved in 2008 and 2009. 

Van Noy, a 6-foot-3, 245-pound senior outside backer, was often found in the opponent backfield during the 2013 season, totaling 16 tackles for loss, 14 quarterback hurries, four sacks and a safety while helping BYU to an 8-4 record. He also contributed 63 tackles, a fumble recovery, seven pass breakups and two interceptions, including the fifth defensive touchdown of his career.

Van Noy was the only FBS player in 2011 and 2012 to record a statistic in every major defensive category and lacks only a blocked kick and forced fumble in BYU’s bowl game to again record a stat in every category.
