ATLANTA -- The Georgia State trio of catcher Joey Roach, center fielder Ryan Blanton and shortstop Justin Jones were named to the Preseason All-Sun Belt Conference team selected by the league head coaches and announced Tuesday.
All three are coming off all-star seasons in 2015 as Roach and Blanton are returning first-team All-Sun Belt honorees, while Jones was a Freshman All-American last spring.
Roach, senior from Holly Springs, N.C., is the two-time, first-team All-Sun Belt catcher. He was also a semifinalist for 2015 Johnny Bench Award as well as a Capital One Academic All-America second team selection.
