Pitt Linebacker Recognized Among Nation’s Elite Players
PITTSBURGH—Pitt linebacker Kyle Louis has been named to the prestigious 2025 Walter Camp Preseason All-America First Team, the Walter Camp Football Foundation announced Tuesday afternoon. The honor places Louis among the top defensive players in the country heading into the 2025 college football season.
Louis is one of just three linebackers nationally—and one of only two ACC players—named to the first-team defense by the nation's oldest college football All-America team. He's joined on the list by standout linebackers Anthony Hill (Texas) and Taurean York (Texas A&M).
A redshirt junior, Louis is coming off a breakout 2024 season in which he led Pitt in sacks, tackles for loss, and interceptions, emerging as one of the ACC's most disruptive defenders. His speed, instincts, and versatility helped anchor a Pitt defense that ranked among the league's best, earning him multiple All-America and All-ACC accolades following the season.
The Walter Camp All-America Team is selected by FBS head coaches and sports information directors and has been a staple of the college football landscape since the first team was named in 1889. The 2025 season marks the 136th edition of the team, continuing a rich legacy of honoring the game's best.
Louis is Pitt's first Walter Camp Preseason First Team All-American since 2022 and adds to a growing list of accolades for the Panthers ahead of the 2025 campaign.
