Oregon State football player Andy Levitre was named to the AFCA Coaches' All-America Team on Thursday.

The senior offensive tackle helped lead the Beavers to an 8-4 record and 7-2 in the Pacific-10 Conference after being picked to finish sixth in the conference in the preseason media poll.

He moved from right tackle to the left this season to protect quarterback Lyle Moevao's blindside and helped anchor a line that allowed 16 sacks and paved the way for freshman Jacquizz Rodgers to set the Pac-10 freshman rushing mark of 1,253 yards.

Levitre is one of two Pacific-10 Conference players recognized on the all-America team and the only player on the offensive side. USC linebacker Rey Maualuga is the only other Pac-10 defensive player.
