HOUSTON - Houston center Will Noble was named to ESPN's Freshman All-America Team Thursday. The true freshman removed his redshirt in Houston's sixth game of the season at Tulane and never let go of starting center duties.
Thursday's honor marked the second in as many weeks for Noble, who was named to USA Today's Freshman All-America Team last week.

Playing 565 snaps on the year, Noble led the Houston offensive line with an 85 percent grade while recording 25 knockdown blocks.
