NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- Three Tennessee State football players were selected to the Sports Network FCS
Preseason All-American Team, released Monday.
Tight end A.C. Leonard and cornerback Steven Godbolt III were chosen on the First Team,
while guard Kadeem Edwards earned a spot on the Third
Team.
The
announcement comes shortly after the Beyond Sports Network honored all three
players, plus kicker Jamin Godfrey, on its All-American
lists.
Last season,
Leonard led all OVC tight ends and underclassmen in receiving yards (733). He
was also selected an FCS All-American at the conclusion of last
season.
For Godbolt,
his inclusion on the list also comes as no surprise as the redshirt junior was
also an FCS First Team All-American last year. Godbolt was a key part of the
Tigers’ OVC-leading pass defense from a year ago.
Edwards
follows former TSU offensive lineman Sherman Carter and Rogers Gaines in garnering national buzz.
Edwards, a senior from Sanford, Fla. will be in the spotlight this year, as he
will be called upon to continue Tennessee State’s running-game dominance (175.7
ypg).
