Trio of Bulls Named to Rivals.com All-BIG EAST Squad

Rivals.com Complete All BIG EAST Team

TAMPA-Linebacker Kion Wilson, safety Nate Allen and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul picked up more postseason billings after being named to the 2009 Rivals.com All-BIG EAST defensive team.

Rivals.com's David Fox sang high praise for the three Bulls honored stating that Pierre-Paul was "perhaps the breakout defensive star in the Big East," Allen " has had a knack for coming up with the big play" throughout his career and that Wilson "may have been the team's most important defender this season."

Their most recent honors come on the heels of Pierre-Paul and Wilson being named to similar teams by the BIG EAST Coaches and ESPN.com. Allen was named second team all-conference by the coaches and joined Wilson on Phil Steele's  All-BIG EAST First Team.
