BATON ROUGE – LSU defensive back Grant Delpit and outside linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson have been named to ESPN’s 2019 preseason All-America Team, the organization announced on Tuesday.
The ESPN preseason All-America team is made up of 11 players on both sides of the ball as well as two specialists – a punter and kicker.
Delpit, called the best defensive back in college football for 2019 by USA Today, is coming off a breakout season a year ago as he became only the ninth unanimous All-America in school history. He led the SEC in interceptions with five and was second in the league in passes defended with 14.
