The Football Writers Association team is one of the five teams used by the NCAA to determine the season’s consensus All-Americans. The others are the Sporting News, Associated Press, Walter Camp All-America, and American Football Coaches Association.

Anae is expected to become Utah’s eighth consensus All-American when the NCAA releases the team later in December.

He earned first-team honors from the FWAA, AFCA, Walter Camp, and Sporting News. He was awarded third-team honors by the Associated Press.

He was also honored an All-America player by Sports Illustrated and ESPN.

Anae was named first-team All-Pac-12 for the second time in his career. He finished the 2019 regular season with 12.5 sacks and 29.5 career sacks, tying the school record with Hunter Dimick.
