Two Aggies named to CBS sports’ preseason all-America team

CBS Sports’ College Football staff put to press their 2022 Preseason All-America team. Making the list as a First-Team selection was senior defensive back, Antonio Johnson, and senior wide receiver, Ainias Smith, receiving his selection on special teams as a punt returner. There were no Aggies selected on CBS Sports’ Second-Team list.

For Johnson, the preseason accolades continue to flood in as he was recently named to The Athletic’s Preseason All-America team earlier this week – a strong indication the media believes Johnson is poised to build upon his impressive 2021 campaign. For Smith, his preseason honors as a wide receiver and punt returner prove the media believes his production will only increase in Jimbo’s offense.

The SEC had seven member schools represented on these lists with 18 overall selections (eight to the First-Team).

The preseason countdown continues to tick closer and closer to September 3rd as the Aggies are settled into fall camp with Sam Houston on their mind.

Auburn football: 3 Tigers named to CBS preseason All-America team

Auburn begins its season on Sept. 26 against Kentucky in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

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.

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.
