Bolton named A.P. All-American. Second Mizzou linebacker to pick up the honor
Mizzou Football junior linebacker Nick Bolton was named a second-team All-American by the Associated Press. Bolton is Mizzou’s first AP All-American since Kentrell Brothers was named a first-team All-American following the 2015 season. Bolton was also named to the All-SEC first team by the league’s coaches and the AP last week.
Bolton, a Butkus Award finalist and Jason Witten Man of the Year semifinalist, is the second linebacker in school history to earn All-America recognition, joining Brothers in 2015. Bolton was routinely one of the best players on the field week-in and week-out in 2020, as his 67 solo tackles lead the conference while his 95 total tackles rank fifth. He also ranks among the SEC’s Top-10 in tackles per game (9.5, seventh) and tackles-for-loss (8.0, 10th).
