Preseason All-America Team Picks

[smallcollegefbfan]

We have seen Lindy's All-America selections so let's see a preseason 1st team from some AGS poll voters and other posters.

Who is willing to take the first crack at it? I am reading through some things and working on mine now. xreadx

You mean Otto? lol

I'm still in the xreadx mode. Anyone feel they have a well researched first team yet?

Looks good! No knock on Jay, just wanted to point out that my grandma could run through that hole in the last photo. Is this kid a bruiser or does he have wheels? I can't open up the youtube highlight at work.

Both...he's more of a home run threat than a between-the-tackles guy but he's big and strong enough to pound it when we need it. He's also an excellent receiver out of the backfield.

[Seat16Demon]

We saw Lucas last year up close and personal and he can rock it with the best of 'em. I think he is definitly in the running for SLC offensive player of the year. All-American? perhaps!

Players from the CSN team have been added to the All-America team I posted. Just a couple mistakes on there. Gilchrist was a junior last year, not sophomore. Also, Webb's first name is Lardarius. The only reason I point those errors out are because I know that CSN likes to get things right!

Good job by the CSN team!

Tim Kukucka Jr. DE, Villanova

With 12 TFL and 7 sacks last season he certainly deserves a spot somewhere. He had 1 sack as a freshman so if he has a 6 sack increase again we are looking at 13 sacks. Possibly 2nd team? xthumbsupx

Marcorelle is on mine. Must have missed him.

The school has it spelled Ladarius but Webb himself stated that everyone, including the school, spells it wrong. Just pointing out the spelling that the player himself has said it was. I had it wrong at one point too. xthumbsupx

It is very easy to mix up those years. I would consider that more of a typo than Ralph and CSN not knowing the year.

I'm guessing he only saw time on half the snaps last year, this year they will probably be a bit more creative with him in order to get him on the field...
He'll have way more tackles than he did this year as well

D.J. smith of App State won't be a pre-season all american but at the end of the season he will almost absolutely barring injury be second team. This season he will be a sophomore.

His freshmen year he had 121 tackles, 5.5 TFL, 1 Fumble Recovery, 2 Interceptions with one being returned for a touchdown(that same game he had 16 tackles and was against the Citadel.) Also had 11 pass break ups and 2 QH.

He only started 9 games last season and had limited playing time before he earned a starting role.

He will emerge as the next leader on defense as a senior. Gary Tharrington has that role right now as does Pierre Banks.

Gary Tharrington also shows flashes of greatness, and talk about tough as nails, this guy is as tough as any nail as i've ever seen or hit or stepped on. He will be a first teamer if he stays healthy.xthumbsupx

And Quavian Lewis, the transfer from Vandy, and Brian Quick at 6'5 and blocking that kick jumping from behind the d-line. Gives Armanti a HUGE target to throw to. Much much bigger than any other WR he's had yet.

Thanks! After reading the thread I was coming unglued because Daly wasn't mentioned. He's definitely preseason a top contender for the Buchanan Award and barring injury should win it hands down.xthumbsupx

And he was a walk on from Helena High.

And he was a walk on from Helena High.

Not sure about him winning it hands down but definitely a preseason top 5 pick and HUGE snub from my list. I have him on it now. Personally I think the preseason list will be different from what I posted because one person selects the preseason list as opposed to it being voted on in postseason.

One player who was not honored as all-conference last year who could be on the preseason 1st or 2nd team is Jackson State CB Domonique Johnson. Johnson is 6'2, 184, and has 4.4 speed.

For those who know nothing on him, outside of the SWAC fans, he started 4 games at Missouri before leaving. He had 5 INTs and 14 PBUs last season and was named the MVP of the SWAC title game. His team should be very good this year as well. They have a Washington transfer at DT and several other FBS transfers who should have even more of an impact this season.

[cats2506]

Oops fixed. I was skimming the list and missed him. I have corrected it.


Thanks, and I think when you look at last years class you almost have to pick Daly as THE preseason favorite for the Buchanan. As soon as the games start that can all change but right now I dont see a choice but to give the pick to Daly.

He is top 3 for sure! You can make a good argument for him as the leader. Maybe throw in Jason Williams of WIU and Lardarius Webb of Nicholls State as favorites.

Terrell Hudgins honorable mention?xeyebrowx

I only picked two receivers from the TSN and CSN teams and since Hudgins was listed 3rd from the tie voting on TSN I put him HM. Roberts did not make 1st or 2nd team by TSN last year nor did he make the CSN team.

These are not my personal picks. I'm still xreadx up on information. This is just an idea of how it would look if you slotted players up from TSN and CSN.

Anyone here going to take a stab at a 1st team themselves?

If I'm not mistaken, Andre Roberts was a 3rd teamer by TSN.

[Eaglesrus]

It would be surprising if GSU safety Chris Covington were getting any recognition now, but for me it will be even more surprising if he still isn't getting it at the end of the season.

[smallcollegefbfan]

If I'm not mistaken, Andre Roberts was a 3rd teamer by TSN.

I skimmed it again and saw he indeed was. There are so many good receivers. Barden has to be 1st team but you can make arguments for Boyce, Hudgins, Roberts, etc.

[Maroon&White]

I'm trying to figure out why Belcher, Marcorelle and now Kukucka are being talked about as on All-American teams (not really); Hanson from UMass had a very comparable 2007 year (stat wise) and didn't even make a CAA team.

Belcher - 85TT, 17TFL, 10 sacks, 1 BrUp, 2 FF
Marcorelle - 64 TT, 15 TFL, 8 sacks, 1 BrUp, 5 FF

I think that's because he somehow didn't make an all-conference team last year. He has two more years to do so :)

There are so many talented DL in the CAA that I am sure there were 3 or 4 very good ones who didn't make All-CAA last year.

i forgot another.. Phil Atkinson WR Villanova Sr.
8 touchdowns last season in the air, and he's also a threat on the ground running the slot option and reverses
oh i forgot to mention that he had 2 touchdown passes last year..
he's a slash guy
he won't be preseason but he'll make it to some team

[uofmman1122]

He is a very good RB, but are those really All-American numbers. SHSU's Chris Poullard is right there close by in production considering it was his first full season to start. I am looking for him to have a great season this year.

209 attempts 1038 yds 5.0 avg 13 tds
37 catches 338 yds 10.4 avg 1 td

236 touches 1376 all purpose yds 14 tds

DE Chris Brown could have a breakout season this year. He transferred from Texas as a redshirt. He started 6 games at Texas his freshman year until he broke his leg and didnt regain his starting position. He had a decent year last year, and definitely not All-American talk at this point, but I think he could be someone to keep an eye on in 2008

60 total tackles (32 solo)
5 sacks (7 total tackles for loss)
6 pass deflections
3 QB hurries

I'd say those are pretty darn good numbers, especially considering they occured in the first year of a new system with an inexperienced QB. Not to mention we faced three FBS opponents, including Kansas, who had one of the better defenses in the country last year. And Jay also played hurt for much of the year and had his touches limited in several games.
