East Carolina's Pernell Griffin has been named
a first-team All-Conference USA member for the third year in a row. For the
senior linebacker, the honor culminates a four-your string of all-league
accolades that began with his selection to the C-USA All-Freshman team in
1998.
Griffin was joined on the first team by
a pair of teammates, running back Leonard Henry and offensive tackle Brian Rimpf, while
Pirate quarterback David Garrard, linebacker Greg LeFever and kicking
specialist Kevin Miller were second-team selections.
ECU also placed a player on the All-Freshman team. Warrenton rookie
Marvin Townes was honored as a return specialist.
A native of Williamston, Griffin recently
became C-USA's all-time leading career tackler.
Henry, a senior from Clinton who was named
second-team All-Conference in 2000, established a new single-season league
rushing record in 2001 with 1,432 yards.
Rimpf, a sophomore from Raleigh, was a
member of last season's All-Freshman team.
For Garrard, who holds virtually all of ECU's career passing records, it
is the third consecutive year he has been named second-team All-C-USA. The
Durham senior also made the All-Freshman team in 1998.
Miller, a junior who hails from Virginia Beach, earned his spot on the
second team by returning to the form he displayed as a freshman in 1999,
when he was selected to the All-Freshman squad.
Regular season champion Louisville, ranked No.
22 in this week's AP poll, placed a league-high eight players on the
All-C-USA first team and 11 players on the two teams combined.
