NEW HAVEN, CT – Appalachian State cornerback Shaun Jolly and Troy linebacker Carlton Martial were named preseason first-team All-Americans by the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the organization announced on Thursday.
Jolly and Martial were the only two Group of Five players on the Walter Camp All-America First Team and just one of two G5 players from the defensive side of the football on the first or second team.
