Moderators CJ Vogel Posted August 12 Moderators Share Posted August 12 The first batch of preseason All Americans has been released by USA Today Monday morning. Kelvin Banks received first team honors, as the SEC makes up 11 slots on the roster. The full first team selection roster: QB Carson Beck (UGA) RB Quinshon Judkins (Ohio State) RB Ollie Gordon (Oklahoma State) WR Luther Burden (Missouri) WR Tetairoa McMillian (Arizona) TE Colston Loveland (Michigan) OT Kelvin Banks (Texas) OT Will Campbell (LSU) OG Tate Ratledge (Georgia) OG Donovan Jackson (Ohio State) C Parker Brailsford (Alabama) Defense: EDGE James Pearce (Tennessee) EDGE Ashton Gillotte (Louisville) DL Mason Graham (Michigan) DL Howard Cross III (Notre Dame) LB Danny Stutsman (Oklahoma) LB Harold Perkins (LSU) LB Jay Higgins (Iowa) CB Will Johnson (Michigan) CB Denzel Burke (Ohio State) DB Malaki Starks (Georgia) DB Caleb Downs (Ohio State) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
closetojumping Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Harold Perkins, who is certainly talented, pretty much gets lazily added to this kind of stuff constantly. Last year, Phil Steele called him the best defensive player in the country ahead of the season. If you remove Perkins' 2 games against Arkansas in each of the last two seasons, there's not much left. Moreover, LSU used him idiotically last year and he was rarely an in-game factor outside of spying the opposing QB. Maybe Blake Baker helps him live up to the hype this year, but if not, a rudimentary review of his performances should merit omission if they're anything like the last two seasons.

Yeah, he looks great when he has a free run at a ball carrier. Not so much outside that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsfan83 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I wouldn’t count Hill off this list. Staff really thinks he is about to explode this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerky Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Beck QB preseason #1 makes sense. Hopefully our D makes it difficult for him to remain #1. Multiple candidates in the mix for best RB imo. Ollie certainly had the season stats. But Ollie was limited and even shutdown when he faced teams with a good run D. 😜 Judkins RB may be sharing too many carries with Henderson at OHSt to end up #1. McMillian WR, should get huge stats vs Big 12 like PAC. But is he really top 2? We get a chance at Loveland TE. Really difficult matchup in the passing game. Great to read Banks 1st team OT preseason. Banks may be challenged wiih our schedule/foes like his freshman yr facing multiple NFL DEs. No surprise we have nobody on the preseason 1st team D. But we do play 4 of them. Hook Em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuco Ramirez Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I hope all of this Carson Beck love puts a chip on Quinn’s shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Burton Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I don't know if Judkins is better than Henderson in his own backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
