Florida sophomore cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III, fresh off receiving first-team All-SEC recognition from both the league's coaches and the Associated Press, was named an ESPN.com All-American on Friday.

Hargreaves earned third-team All-American honors from the Associated Press as a freshman and could very well earn that top honors again, if ESPN's team is any indication.

In his second year, Hargreaves racked up 45 tackles, 2.0 tackles for a loss, 2 interceptions, and team-highs in pass breakups with 13 and fumble recoveries with two.

Said ESPN: The sophomore just keeps getting better with age. The youngster, who is destined for first-round NFL draft status, only intercepted two passes this season, but he defended 15 and took his side of the field away more often than not. The human heat-seeking missile probably dropped a handful of potential interceptions throughout the season, but was also one of the Gators' top tacklers, ranking second on the team with 26 solo tackles. An elite cover corner, Hargreaves excels in man-to-man coverage and rarely finds himself on the negative end of one-on-one coverage. -- Edward Aschoff
