The Western Athletic Conference announced its All-WAC teams Monday, and five players were named to either the first or second teams.

Senior placekicker Josh Scobee and sophomore running back Ryan Moats were named to the first team.

Scobee connected on 21-of-31 field goals during 2003 and hit all 31 of his extra point attempts on his way to a team-high 94 points.

Scobee, the latest in a long line of great Tech kickers that includes Matt Stover (Baltimore Ravens), Chris Boniol (formerly of the Dallas Cowboys) and Marty Kent, stamped his name in Tech's career record book as a four-year starter for the Bulldogs.

Scobee concluded his Tech career with the most points scored in the school's history with 343, passing former All-American wide receiver Troy Edwards in the final game of the season.

Moats, a 5-8, 200-pound sophomore from Dallas, burst onto the scene with a 99-yard performance against Boise State in the fifth game of the season en route to the second-highest individual rushing total in school history (1,300 yards).

After splitting time with senior Ralph Davis over the first four games of the year, Moats picked up his first career start against Boise.

He responded with six consecutive 100-yard games, including a career-high 267 yards against Hawaii and 124 against LSU, becoming the only runner to go over the century mark against the Tigers all year.

Moats averaged 6.5 yards per carry over the season and 145 yards per game as a starter. He also had 10 rushing touchdowns, 27 catches for 251 yards and one touchdown reception.

Senior wide receiver D.J. Curry, senior linebacker Antonio Crow and junior linebacker Byron Santiago were all named to the second team.

Curry, a 5-10, 180-pound former walk-on, led all Bulldog receivers this year with 53 receptions for 668 yards and six touchdowns. Curry finished his Bulldog career with 174 catches for 2,261 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Crow and Santiago solidified the Bulldog corps of linebackers, arguably the strength of this year's Bulldog defense.

Crow finished second on the team in tackles with 92, including 46 solo stops. He also recorded six tackles for loss, two sacks and two fumble recoveries from the strongside linebacker position.

A first-year starter, Crow finished his career with 217 tackles (116 solo), 14 tackles for loss, three sacks and two interceptions.

Santiago began the year as the backup weakside linebacker, but he started the final six games for the injured Jeremy Hamilton and led the team with 107 tackles (53 solo).

Santiago also finished with 2.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

Santiago averaged 10 tackles per game as a starter, including a career-high 16 tackles in the final game against Rice.

Senior quarterback Luke McCown, senior punter Dustin Upton, junior offensive tackle Adrian Gonzalez and sophomore offensive guard Aaron Lips all received honorable mention honors.
