For the second time in three seasons, Pitt has placed two players on the Associated Press All-America team.

Sophomore linebacker Kyle Louis and junior all-purpose back Desmond Reid were second-team selections at their positions on the team that was revealed Monday.

Louis and Reid previously were named All-Americans by The Athletic and CBS Sports, adding to their first-team All-ACC status.

Louis recorded 96 tackles, 15 1/2 for a loss, seven sacks and four interceptions. He also had a pick on a 2-point conversion attempt.

Reid averaged 150.9 all-purpose yards per game (sixth in the nation) and was ninth in the nation with a 12.3-yard average on punt returns. He is the only player this season — and the first since Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey in 2015 — with three games of at least 100 receiving yards and 50 rushing yards.

After the 2022 season, Pitt defensive tackle Calijah Kancey and running back Israel Abanikanda were named All-Americans.

In addition, West Virginia senior offensive lineman Wyatt Milum was named to the AP second team.
