Two Syracuse stars were named to Athlon Sports' Preseason All-America Team, as Sean Tucker (first team) and Mikel Jones (fourth team) were each selected by the publication for the honor.
Both had previously been selected as First Team All-ACC honorees by the publication earlier this summer and are on multiple Preseason All-America teams.
Tucker – who was a first or second team All-American last year from all-but-one of the All-American teams that comprise the consensus All-America team in 2021 – returns after shattering the program's all-time rushing record. His 1,496 rushing yards broke a 42-year-old record, held by Joe Morris, to now sit atop the SU leaderboard.
