AP's preseason All-America: North Texas ties

TEXAS, USA — The Associated Press named its preseason All-American team, and there are a handful of ties to North Texas.

No. 1 Texas and No. 2 Penn State each had three players selected for the preseason AP All-America team. The Southeastern Conference had 12 players on the 27-man first team determined by media members on the AP Top 25 voting panel. Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Pittsburgh each had two players on the first team.

Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik, an Austin native, was the overwhelming preseason choice for first-team quarterback after throwing for 3,639 yards with 39 touchdowns and just six interceptions.
