Arkansas senior wide receiver Cobi Hamilton was a unanimous choice Monday for the Associated Press’ All-SEC first team.
With 90 receptions for 1,335 yards this season, Hamilton broke the school’s single season records for receptions and receiving yards, and set an Arkansas record for career receptions at 175.
He was also one of 10 semifinalists for the 2012 Biletnikoff Award.
Following his final game, Hamilton moved into 4th on the SEC’s single-season receiving yards list and is tied at 3rd on the conference’s single-season receptions list.
Other Razorbacks to receive honors were senior punter Dylan Breeding and junior center Travis Swanson, who were voted to the second team. Junior defensive end Chris Smith received honorable-mention recognition.
