Cam Robinson started all 14 games for the University of Alabama football program in 2014, a true freshman thriving at one of the most important positions on the field: left tackle.

JK Scott proved his worth over and over again during his freshman campaign, booming punts 50-plus yards with regularity and with a hang time that made it difficult for opposing teams and their starting field position.

For their efforts, Robinson and Scott were named to the Football Writers Association of America's Freshman All-American team, the organization announced Wednesday.

It wasn't all smooth sailing for Robinson, the 6-foot-6, 323-pounder. He sustained a high ankle sprain on the road against Tennessee.
Against Auburn, he sustained a shoulder injury. But he never missed a start.

Scott was a finalist for the Ray Guy Award, given to the nation's best punter. He averaged 48 yards per punt with 31 of 55 punts downed inside the opponents 20-yard line.

He had a season-best of 73 yards and 23 punts traveled at least 50 yards.

Robinson and Scott were two of six SEC players named to the team, including running back Nick Chubb, Georgia; all-purpose back Leonard Fournette, LSU; defensive lineman Derek Barnett, Tennessee, defensive lineman Myles Garrett, Texas A&M.

Congrats!! Not everyday that an 18 yr old kid can come in and man the LT "money position" like big Cam did. Not everyday ANYONE comes in and averages 48 yds a punt either!!

I was more curious at how neither was a first team All-America in general. JK Scott was out of this world great and probably won a couple games for us by flipping field position and singularly kept us in the Sugar Bowl.

Cameron Robinson performed all year long, even when he sprained his ankle. The guy was a monster for us and never showed any weakness. The SEC may not have had many high profile edge rushers this year, but Big Cam never allowed anyone to dominate him and get to his quarterback, and never faltered against that National Champion defensive line from Ohio State. I just can't see why neither made first team out of all players.
