Western Carolina's Darius Ramsey was named to the College Sports Journal's 2012 Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) All-Freshman Team.

Ramsey was named to the team as an All-Purpose Back.  He led the Catamount's with 503 rushing yards, averaging 55.9 yards per game, and twice passed the century mark including 120 yards on 20 carries in his WCU debut in the home win over Mars Hill and 118 yards on 16 carries at The Citadel.

A native of Waco, N.C., Ramsey recorded two rushing touchdowns to help the Catamounts record 22 scores on the ground - the most for a WCU offensive unit since rushing for 25 in the 2001 season. Ramsey finished as WCU's third-leading receiver in terms of catches, hauling in 25 receptions out of the backfield for 131 yards - the fifth-most of any Catamount back last fall. In addition, Ramsey returned eight kickoffs for 141 yards, averaging 17.6 yards per return.
