Iowa Hawkeyes' cornerback Desmond King continued to rack up awards and honors. King was named first-team All-American by the AutoNation Football Writers Association of America on Monday. King now has been named first-team all-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation and The Associated Press. 

King was also named the winner of the Jim Thorpe Award last Thursday which is awarded to the best defensive back in college football in addition to the Jack Tatum Award and the Big Ten's defensive back of the year award.

The junior from Michigan tied a school record and led the Big Ten with eight interceptions on the season. He is said to be leaning towards returning to Iowa City next season.
