Five Alabama players named to AP preseason All-America team

Alabama continues to attract attention and distinction heading into its first game.

On Tuesday, the Crimson Tide landed five players on the Associated Press All-America Team.

Offensive linemen Ross Pierschbacher and Jonah Williams received first-team honors while defensive lineman Raekwon Davis, running back Damien Harris and linebacker Mack Wilson were named to the second team.

Only Wisconsin matched Alabama with the number of players chosen.

For the Tide, it's the latest bit of recognition the program has received. Alabama was ranked No. 1 in each poll and will head into its first game against Louisville on Sept.
