Raymond gets Big East honor

The USF football team has been struggling, but one of the bright spots on the team is senior defensive back Mistral Raymond.

The Palmetto High has been a stalwart in the secondary and his play has not gone unnoticed. The cornerback/safety was the named to Phil Steele’s All-Big East Mid-Season Second team for his efforts.

Raymond was listed as a cornerback. Also selected to the second team was Bulls safety Jon Lejiste. Chosen for the third team were defensive end Craig Marshall and linebacker Sam Barrington.

The only USF player chosen to the first team was sophomore kick returner Lindsey Lamar, who leads the conference in kickoff return yardage and brought one to the house against Syracuse.


On offense, center Sampson Genus was a second team choice and receiver Dontavia Bogan was named to the third team.
