The preseason 247Sports All-American team was announced Friday, featuring first- and second-team players. In an effort to include more than one of the many tremendous running backs set to star this year, we included two of them at the expense of one wide receiver, as we wanted to get a tight end on our starting offense. On defense, we voted in two defensive ends, two defensive tackles, three linebackers — two outside and one middle — and of the four defensive backs, two corners and two safeties each.
