Let the preseason award watch begin!
On Monday, CBS released its preseason All-America teams for the 2020 college football season and it included three Auburn players, all on the second team.
Defensive lineman Big Kat Bryant, who will look to fill the holes left by Derrick Brown and Marlon Davidson, was one of the Tigers named. As a junior in 2019, Bryant recorded 16 total tackles, two tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks and nine quarterback hurries while also recovering a fumble.
The honors keep rolling in!

Linebacker K.J. Britt, the heart and soul of the 2020 defense, also saw his name on the list. He made 69 total tackles for the Tigers last season along with 10 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble.
The third Tiger on the list is Christian Tutt who earns the spot on the second team at punt returner. The defensive back returned 23 punts for a total of 313 yards as a sophomore in 2019 while also making 32 total tackles, four tackles for a loss, one sack, two interceptions and one fumble recovery.
