TAMPA - Freshman punt returner Terrence Mitchell earned his third Freshman All-America honor after being recognized by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) on Monday. Mitchell was already named to Freshman All-America teams by Phil Steele and Rivals.com. He is the first Bull to receive freshman FWAA honors since George Selvie was recognized in 2006.

Mitchell returned 27 punts for 232 yards (11.0 ypr) during the 2010 season. His 11.0 yards per return average led the nation's rookie punt returners. The mark also ranked 23rd nationally and second in the BIG EAST. Mitchell's long return of the season, a 67-yarder, came as he posted 94 yards on two returns against WKU. He also had a 47-yard return against Rutgers and a 34-yarder in USF's Meineke Car Care Bowl victory over Clemson.
