Fumagalli, the former walk-on turned prolific tight end and current Wisconsin Badgers team captain, landed preseason first-team All-America honors from ESPN on Thursday.
That makes three first-team nods for the 6’6, 248-pounder before an offensive snap of the 2017 season, as both Athlon Sports and Sports Illustrated also named Fumagalli to their respective lists this summer.
Fumagalli, who led the Badgers with 47 receptions last season, also recently received second-team honors from the Associated Press and Pro Football Focus.
It hasn’t been just Fumagalli receiving love, as right guard Beau Benzschawel also garnered preseason first-team All-America honors from USA Today and offensive lineman Michael Deiter received a third-team nod from Pro Football Focus.
