12/16/2015 10:12:00 AM | Football
DURHAM, N.C. – Duke redshirt senior safety Jeremy Cash tallied his eighth All-America honor Wednesday with his selection as a American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) First Team All-America, according to an announcement by the organization. It is the first time Cash has received AFCA All-America honors.
Cash is the Blue Devils' second AFCA All-America selection in program history, following Will Snyderwine's first team accolade in 2010.
A 6-2, 210-pound native of Miami, Fla., Cash has amassed 101 tackles, 18.0 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, eight quarterback pressures, four pass breakups, three caused fumbles and one fumble recovery on the season. He registered 10-plus tackles in games against Northwestern (11), Georgia Tech (12), Virginia Tech (11), Miami (12) and North Carolina (10) to push his career total of double digit tackle games to 15.
A finalist for both the Bronco Nagurski Award (National Defensive Player of the Year) and Jim Thorpe Award (top defensive back in the nation), Cash has now reached the 100-tackle plateau in three consecutive seasons and is Duke's career leader in caused fumbles with nine. In 39 career games at Duke, Cash has compiled 333 tackles, 38.0 tackles for loss, 8.0 sacks, six interceptions, nine caused fumbles, four fumble recoveries, 15 pass breakups and 15 quarterback pressures.
One of seven players in Duke history to post three seasons with 100-plus tackles, Cash is a three-time All-ACC pick and earned All-America honors in each of the past two campaigns. He currently ranks 12th on the school's all-time tackle chart.
Cash and the Blue Devils return to action December 26 in New York, N.Y., for the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. on ABC.
