Hawaii football: Khoury Bethley named to Associated Press All-Bowl team

Hawaii sophomore safety Khoury Bethley was named to the Associated Press’ All-Bowl team, a collection of players that included every FBS postseason game except the upcoming College Football Playoff national championship between LSU and Clemson.

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, the Heisman Trophy winner, headlined the list of 31 players spanning the 39 games played.

Bethley, who recorded 10 solo tackles and two interceptions — including the game-clincher — in the 38-34 win over BYU in the SoFi Hawaii Bowl, was one of six players named to the all-bowl secondary by the AP.

The recognition earned a shout-out from UH defensive coordinator Corey Batoon.
