NORMAN, Okla. - Oklahoma's Malcolm Kelly and Auston English have been named to CBSSportsline.com's College Football Halfway All-America Team that was announced Wednesday. The team recognizes standout players at the mid-point of the season.

The Canadian, Texas, sophomore excelled in games against ranked opponents. He had a career-high nine tackles and 1.5 sacks against No. 11 Missouri and two sacks against No. 19 Texas.
