CARBONDALE, Ill. — Southern Illinois safety Jeremy Chinn became just the seventh player in school history to earn Consensus All-American status (named to 3+ All-America teams) when the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) recognized the senior safety today.
Chinn, who will play in the Senior Bowl in January, ended his storied SIU career with 243 tackles, 13 interceptions, 31 passes defended, and six forced fumbles.
