It the second all-America team Angerer has been named to in the last 24-hours. He was yesterday, along with teammate Bryan Bulaga, named to the second Walter Camp Foundation all-America team.
Angerer, a 6-1, 235-pound senior from Bettendorf, IA was easily Iowa’s leading tackler for the second straight year. He totaled 135 tackles (second best was Tyler Sash’s 84) to finish second among Big Ten defenders.
