Two Ducks make CBS Sports preseason All-American list

Quarterback Dillon Gabriel and receiver Tez Johnson make the Second Team All-American list from CBS Sports.

Oregon has two weeks left to prepare for the 2024 season and more specifically, the Idaho Vandals for the August 31 date at Autzen Stadium.

But that doesn’t stop some Ducks from being named to preseason honor lists.

In the latest All-American lists from CBS Sports with 247 Sports, quarterback Dillon Gabriel and receiver Tez Johnson were named to their All-American Second Team.

On the whole, the Big Ten had seven players make their First Team with 16 players named overall, which included offense, defense, and specialists.

The SEC led the way in First Team selections with 12. Combined, the SEC and Big Ten accounted for 37 of 54 total picks (68.5 percent). Ten SEC teams and six Big Ten programs are represented on the overall 2024 CBS Sports Preseason All-America team.

The last two national champions, Georgia and Michigan, led all teams with three First-Team selections each.

Ohio State enters the season with the Preseason Coach of the Year in Ryan Day and Freshman of the Year in wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.

Ohio State and Oregon begin the season as the No. 2 and 3 teams, respectively, in the country, and the two teams will clash at Autzen Stadium Oct. 12.
