SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Orange redshirt sophomore placekicker Andre Szmyt (Vernon Hills, Ill.) and true sophomore safety Andre Cisco were tabbed first-team preseason All-Americans by the Associated Press on Tuesday, Aug. 20. Syracuse was one of five schools with multiple first-team selections, along with Clemson (3), Alabama (3), Wisconsin (2) and Stanford (2).

A 2018 unanimous All-American and the winner of last year's Lou Groza Award as the country's best kicker, Szmyt has received no less than nine first-team All-America nods this preseason. Cisco has received similar recognition, collecting six preseason first-team All-America citations.
