Weber State running back Trevyn Smith and quarterback Cameron Higgins received some national recognition on Wednesday for their stellar play during the 2008 season.

Smith was named to the Football Championship Subdivision AP All-America Second Team. Higgins earned third-team honors.

Smith, a junior, rushed for more than 100 yards in 10 of Weber State's 14 games. He tied a Big Sky single-season record with 28 touchdowns and captured his third straight conference rushing title. Smith rushed for 1,585 yards, which is the 11th-best single-season mark in Big Sky history.

Smith also caught 62 passes for 778 yards to finish the season with 2,363 all-purpose yards. That was the third-highest single-season total in Big Sky history.

Higgins, a sophomore, threw for a Big Sky single-season record 4,477 yards. He threw 36 touchdown passes, which was a Weber State single-season record. Higgins threw a touchdown pass in 13 of Weber State's 14 games, completed 65 percent of his passes, and tossed just 13 interceptions.
