University of Hawai'i placekicker Kansei Matsuzawa was named to the Walter Camp All-America first team, becoming the first UH player in program history to earn first team honors by the organization.
 
Previously, wide receiver Davone Bess earned second team honors in 2007 and quarterback Colt Brennan was named to the second team in 2006. Matsuzawa, a senior from Tokyo, Japan, was also the only non-Power Conference player selected to the first team.
 
The Walter Camp All-America team is the oldest college football All-America team and celebrates its 136^th edition in 2025. It is one of five All-America teams that make up the NCAA's annual consensus team along with The Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), The Sporting News, and Football Writers Association of America (FWAA).
 
Matsuzawa, who finished the regular season 25-of-26 in field goal attempts, has already been named to several other All-America teams including CBS Sports' first team. The "Tokyo Toe" captivated the nation this season with his incredible story and record-breaking feats, including tying a 43-year old NCAA record for consecutive made field goals to start a season (25).
 
Matsuzawa is one of three finalists for the Lou Groza Award, given to the nation's top placekicker. He is the second UH kicker to become a finalist along with Jason Elam, whom Matsuzawa broke several of his program records including most field goals in a single-season and most consecutive field goals made. Matsuzawa is also on pace to become the school's most proficient kicker having made 88 percent of his career attempts.
