CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Sports Illustrated announced its annual preseason All-America teams on Wednesday and two Boston College standouts were honored. Senior safety Lukas Denis and sophomore running back AJ Dillon were named to SI's Preseason All-America second team.

It marked the second straight year that at least one BC player was named to SI's Preseason All-America squad after Harold Landry was named to the 2017 first-team.

For Denis, the honor marks his fourth preseason All-America nod leading up to opening day. He was previously recognized by Sporting News, Athlon Sports and Street & Smith's.
