LEXINGTON, Va. – In a week full of All-America recognition, VMI redshirt junior running back Alex Ramsey was honored for the fourth time this week as he was named an American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Second Team All-American Friday morning.
 
To recap his week:
Monday: Hero Sports Third Team All-American
Tuesday: Associated Press Second Team All-American
Thursday: STATS Second Team All-American
Friday: AFCA Second Team All-American
 
Ramsey, hailing from Salem, Virginia, led the Southern Conference in rushing with 1,326 yards which stands as the fourth best single season rushing total by a Keydet in program history. Ramsey also set a new VMI single season record with 22 rushing touchdowns and compiled 1,657 all-purpose yards, which is the sixth-best in program history.
