He was named a 2005 AP, Football Coaches, Football Writers, Walter Camp, The Sporting News, SI.com, CBS Sportsline.com and Collegefootballnews.com All-American first teamer and Rivals.com All-American second teamer (he was a unanimous choice and joined Mike Williams as the only USC sophomore wide receivers to win All-American honors). He made the 2005 All-Pac-10 first team. He made the 2005 ESPN.com All-Pac-10 team. He was 12th nationally in receptions (7.0, second in Pac-10) and 13th in receiving yards (98.0, fourth in Pac-10).
