On Tuesday, three Alabama football players were named Associated Press preseason first-team All-Americans. There were also three Alabama players named to the second team as well.
Representing the Crimson Tide on the preseason first team All-American list was wide receiver DeVonta Smith, linebacker Dylan Moses and offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood.
