Walter Camp Release and All-America Team

Eastern Washington University quarterback Eric Barriere has been named to the Walter Camp Football Championship Subdivision All-America Team. He is the lone quarterback to be selected to the offensive team.
 
The honor is the eighth All-America team Barriere has been selected to this season alone. Previously, he was named First Team HERO Sports, Second Team Associated Press, FCS Athletic Directors Association, First Team Stats Perform, Second Team American Football Coaches Association, Athlon Sports and Second Team Phil Steele.
 
Barriere has also raked in three Offensive Player of the Year Honors, becoming both the Big Sky's and the FCS ADA's Offensive Player of the Year for the second-straight season. On Jan. 7, he earned his coveted Walter Payton Award, known as the Heisman of the FCS and given to the top offensive player. Barriere is the fourth Eagle to win the Walter Payton Award, joining the likes of Erik Meyer, Bo Levi Mitchell and Cooper Kupp, and helping Eastern win more Payton awards than other school with four.
 
The Walter Camp FCS All-America Team is voted on by FCS Sports Information Directors.
 
MORE ABOUT WALTER CAMP: Walter Camp, "The Father of American football," first selected an All-America team in 1889. Camp – a former Yale University athlete and football coach – is also credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side. The Walter Camp Football Foundation (www.waltercamp.org,@WalterCampFF) – a New Haven-based all-volunteer group – was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and to continue the tradition of selecting annually an All-America team. The Foundation is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA). The NCFAA was founded in 1997 as a coalition of the major collegiate football awards to protect, preserve and enhance the integrity, influence and prestige of the game's predominant awards. The NCFAA encourages professionalism and the highest standards for the administration of its member awards and the selection of their candidates and recipients.
