LAS VEGAS - UNLV wide receiver Ryan Wolfe has been named second team freshman All-America by Scout.com.

The record-setting rookie out of Santa Clarita, Calif., became the first-ever freshman to lead the Mountain West Conference in receiving yards and shattered multiple school marks.

He currently ranks 25th in the nation with 75.92 receiving yards per game as well as 55th with 4.58 receptions per game.

Wolfe, who led UNLV with five touchdown receptions in 2006, had three plays longer than 50 yards and became the first Rebel to turn in at least three 100-yard receiving games in one season since Earvin Johnson in 2002. He also tossed an 18-yard touchdown to teammate Casey Flair. Wolfe's total of 911 yards shattered the MWC freshman single-season receiving yards record of 771, which was set by BYU's Austin Collie in 2004. Wolfe also tied the MWC mark for yards in a game with 176 on a career-high nine receptions vs. New Mexico on Oct. 14.

The official All-Mountain West Conference teams are set to be released on Tuesday.
