Basinger and Deutsch make it a hat trick for All-America honors

Wofford defensive end Lee Basinger and offensive guard Eric Deutsch are first-team selections on the 2004 Associated Press Division I-AA All-America team.

It's the third different first-team All-America honor in the last week for the Terrier seniors. Basinger and Deutsch have also received first-team All-America accolades from the Walter Camp Foundation and The Sports Network.

A Buck Buchanan Award finalist for Division I-AA Defensive Player of the Year, Basinger topped all Terrier linemen in tackles. His 78 stops also tied for second on the team.

The Kannapolis, N.C., native had 16 tackles for a loss with 7.5 sacks. He concludes his Wofford career ranking second on the Terriers' all-time list for stops behind the line of scrimmage (61).

Deutsch has received consensus All-America honors for the second straight season. He posted a team-high 120 knockdown blocks as Wofford placed second in the nation in team rushing with an average of 305.1 yards per game.

Deutsch (Cincinnati, Ohio) was also last year's recipient of the SoCon's Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the league's top offensive lineman.
