Arizona receiver Tetairoa McMillan named AP All-American

Arizona junior wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan was named a First-Team Associated Press All-America selection on Monday.

Tucson native and former Salpointe Catholic defensive back Lathan Ransom was named a third-team AP All-American.

Ransom, an All-Big Ten safety for Ohio State, is one of the Buckeyes’ top defenders with 56 tackles, three forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception this season.

McMillan, who was a third-team AP All-American last year, became the first Wildcat to earn first-team honors since linebacker Scooby Wright in 2014. McMillan is the first UA offensive player to receive first-team AP All-America honors since Ka’Deem Carey in 2013.

McMillan was also recently named an AP All-Big 12 selection and received All-America honors by Pro Football Focus, CBS and 247Sports. He’s also Polynesian College Football Player of the Year finalist. McMillan is now eligible for the Ring of Honor at Arizona Stadium.
