Warner Named to 2019 STATS FCS Preseason All-America Third Team

Drake University football senior safety Will Warner has been selected to the 2019 STATS FCS Preseason All-America Third Team.

Warner had an outstanding junior season that was capped by being named Drake's first first-team All-American since Eric Saubert in 2015 and the Bulldogs' first Associated Press first-team All-American since 1982. He was part of a defensive unit that ranked in the top 15 nationally in nearly every defensive statistical category.

Individually, Warner was second in the nation in interceptions with eight to also tie the Drake program record. He also led the nation in interception return yardage at 223 total yards.
