UD’s Sidney Haugabrook first team All-American 11:07 a.m., Dec. 13, 2004--University of Delaware senior Sidney Haugabrook has been named a first team Walter Camp Football Foundation All-American in NCAA Division I-AA. Haugabrook, a co-captain of the 2004 team that shared the Atlantic 10 Football Conference championship and reached the NCAA Division I-AA tournament quarterfinals, was one of 25 players honored in voting conducted by sports information directors and head football coaches in the division.

The Walter Camp team was the first All-America team announced this season. The Sports Network, American Football Coaches Association and Associated Press all plan to announce their All-America teams next week.

Also one of the nation's most feared kick returners, he averaged 11.4 yards on 27 punt returns, returning two for touchdowns, and averaged 27.0 yards on 27 kickoff returns, returning one for a touchdown.
