2015 College Awards (All-Freshmen)
Posted: June 8, 2015 11:33 AM
USA Ultimate is proud to announce the 2015 College All-Freshmen Teams and Freshman of the Year!
Instituted in 2002, the college awards are a way for individual college players to be honored by their peers for their skill, athleticism, integrity, and leadership during this season (see 2014 College Award Winners).
All-Freshmen teams were determined by a peer voting process open to all college players on a roster for the 2015 college postseason. Players highlighted in green have won Freshman of the Year honors in their region/division.
