On Thursday, Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith was named to Walter Camp’s preseason All-American list.
Devonta Smith recorded an impressive 68 receptions for 1,256 yards and 14 touchdowns, one of which sparked a second-half comeback against the Michigan Wolverines in the Citrus Bowl last season.
Last year, Smith split reps with Henry Ruggs III and Jerry Jeudy, both of which were first-round draft picks in the 2020 NFL Draft. This has the potential to be Smith’s best season yet.
Alabama also had five players named to Walter Camp’s second-team preseason All-Americans list as well: running back Najee Harris, linebacker Dylan Moses, cornerback Patrick Surtain, left tackle Alex Leatherwood, and kick returner/wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.
Alabama’s six total players named to both the first and second team All-American lists were the most of any school.
