SAN DIEGO – San Diego's Michael Bandy officially became a two-time All-American as the senior wide receiver was selected to the 2019 STATS FCS All-America Third Team, the organization announced.
 
A product of La Mirada, Calif., Bandy finished the regular season among the nation's top receivers in every major category. He was top-10 in receiving touchdowns (eighth) and receiving yards (10th) while his 103.6 receiving yards per game were not only sixth-best in the FCS but also made him one of only eight receivers to average more than 100 yards per regular season contest.
 
Bandy also helped San Diego rank as one of the country's best passing attacks during the regular season as the Toreros were seventh in passing offense, second in passing efficiency, fourth in completion percentage, and second in total offense.
 
Bandy completed the entire season with 1,152 receiving yards on 75 catches, making him the first Torero in program history to have back-to-back 75+ catch seasons as well as consecutive 1,100+ receiving yard campaigns. He also had 12 receiving touchdowns and 1,304 all-purpose yards.
 
For his entire career, Bandy had 192 catches, 3,294 receiving yards and 28 receiving touchdowns. The two-time All-PFL first team honoree averaged 17.2 yards per catch, which is sixth-best in program history, and 76.6 receiving yards per game in 43 contests. His 192 career grabs are tied for fourth-most in school history while his nearly 3,300 receiving yards are third-best.
 
As a junior in 2018, Bandy was named an All-American by five different organizations: AFCA, AP, STATS FCS, Walter Camp and FCS ADA. On Friday, the AFCA will announce its 2019 All-Americans.
 
The 2019 STATS FCS All-America teams featured 100 players from 66 schools. Bandy was one of 19 players from the 2018 All-America team selected to the 2019 edition.
 
Bandy's collegiate career will come to a close with the Hula Bowl on Sunday, January 26, 2020. The 74th edition of the game is an all-star showcase for college seniors looking to play professionally.
