T.Y. on The Herald's All-Florida Team

The Miami Herald's All-Florida Team was released today and FIU receiver T.Y. Hilton made the first team. Linebacker Scott Bryant made the second team, but punter Carlos Munera got hosed. Take a look below at the picks and then let us know what you think. Also is there another Panther that deserved a spot on either team?
