The American Athletic Conference released its all-conference team a few minutes ago and of the 59 players on the first team, second team or listed as honorable mention selections, none are from UConn. In fact the only Connecticut representation was Stratford's Tyler Matakevich of Temple, who was named to the first team.

UConn was the only team not to have at least one player named to the team. I thought junior safety Andrew Adams would garner a spot somewhere on the team. He was the only player in the AAC to rank in the top 10 in tackles and interceptions and in conference games only, he was tied for second with four interceptions. The top two candidates coming into the season were seniors Geremy Davis and Byron Jones and they combined to miss seven games during injured-plagued senior seasons. Davis was also hurt by the inconsistent quarterback play and the fact that UConn attempted fewer passes than any other team in the conference.

Memphis led the way with six first-team picks and 10 selections overall. Central Florida and East Carolina had nine players each honored.

Here are the award winners and all-conference selections.
