According to this article:
"Dotson, who has also picked up All-America recognition from USA Today, Sports Illustrated and Pro Football Focus, is the first Ragin' Cajun in program history to earn First Team All-America honors from the AP.

The only other player to be named an AP All-American was Orlando Thomas, who garnered Third Team honors in 1993 and Second Team honors in 1994."

This is a well deserved honor for Almendares. He worked his tail off to get from a below average FBS kicker to first team AA.
