George Selvie, Junior
Defensive End, #95, 6'4" - 245 lbs.
In 2007, South Florida showed the country they are a force in the college football world...also 2007, South Florida defensive end George Selvie put his stamp on being a force at sacking quarterbacks...the first ever consensus All-American in school history...led the country with 31.5 tackles for loss and needed just one more to break the NCAA record...second in the country with 14.5 sacks...

The College Football News wrote this about Selvie, "Selvie opened eyes as a freshman. As a sophomore, he made them bulge. One of the most explosive ends in the country, he erupted for a nation’s-high 31.5 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks, commanding constant double teams. An All-American who’s just a few years removed from being a center, Selvie’s a three-down guy that’ll also pitch in on running downs. He’s such a disruptive force, everyone on the defense benefits from his presence." ...

Blue Ribbon College Football Yearbook wrote this, "If there was one player who epitomized USF's sudden emergence on the national scene it was junior end George Selvie (6-4, 242). Selvie started as a freshman in 2006, contributed 5.5 sacks and earned freshman All-American honors by The Sporting News. Despite that auspicious debut, no one could have predicted what Selvie accomplished last season. After becoming USF's first consensus All-American last year, Selvie achieved another USF first this summer when he was selected to Playboy's All-American team. He's also a member of Blue Ribbon's preseason All-American team, among others. Rivals.com chose Selvie as its No. 2 "Scariest Defender" in college football, behind only USC linebacker Rey Maualuga."

Coaches call him the best practice player on the team...he is also a good person off the field...Selvie participates in every community service opportunity around the athletics department and football program...
