TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State linebacker Garret Ollendieck was named to the 2024 Phil Steele FCS Preseason All-American team as announced by the organization on Friday morning.

Ollendieck garnered Second Team recognition in his first All-American nod of the preseason. The Cresco, Iowa native is back for his third season with the Sycamores as the middle linebacker looks to build on another strong year.

Ollendieck finished just shy of 100 tackles finishing with 97 in his second full season with the Sycamores. The Cresco, Iowa native took over as the Sycamores' starting middle linebacker early in the season and the move paid dividends immediately.
