SWAC Media Days: Alabama State University football
Birmingham, Alabama -- The Southwestern Athletic Conference released its 2015 SWAC Football Preseason Teams during Media Day on Friday morning.
Alabama State tallied five selections with linebacker Kourtney Berry carrying one of the two most prestigious recognitions after being named the SWAC Preseason Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season.
There were 51 players named to this year's preseason teams as a result of receiving 2014 All-SWAC honors.
In the event that a player was named to the First Team during the postseason and did not return, the Second Team player at that position was elevated to First Team recognition.
Players were ranked in their position based upon the number of votes received.
Ballots were completed by the league's head coaches and sports information directors.
Berry led the conference in total tackles during his first two years by grabbing over 100 tackles, including a SWAC-high 128 tackles (67 solo) last season.
