IRVING, Texas – Florida Atlantic junior LaJohntay Wester has been named as a 2023 Football Writers Association First-Team selection, as announced by the FWAA today.
 
Wester was selected as an elite punt returner. The junior finished the regular season No. 2 nationally in punt return TDs. He led the American Athletic Conference in all-purpose yards with 1,520 and became the first Owl to return a punt for a TD since 2014.
 
Wester's regular season receiving efforts led the nation, as well as the AAC, wire-to-wire in receptions per game (9.0), receiving yards (1,168), receiving yards per game (97.3), and in punt returns for a TD. The Palmetto, Florida native rewrote the FAU record book in the process.
