SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Orange junior safety Andre Cisco earned first-team preseason All-America honors from the Associated Press on Tuesday, Aug. 25. The team was selected by 47 AP poll voters, who were asked to consider all Division I players – even those who had already opted out of the season or whose teams had postponed football.

The award was Cisco's fifth preseason first-team All-America nod. Earlier this summer, he garnered the same recognition from Street & Smith's, Lindy's, Sporting News and Phil Steele. Additionally, Cisco is a candidate for the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back, as well as the Lott IMPACT Trophy, Nagurski Trophy and Bednarik Award – all three of which are presented to college football's defensive player of the year.
