Four Rebels appear on CBS Sports Preseason All-America Team

Ole Miss had four of its top juniors named to the CBS Sports 2015 Preseason All-America Team early Tuesday morning.

Wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, tight end Evan Engram, offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, and defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche represent the Rebels on the first-team.

The Southeastern Conference led all conferences with seven first-team picks, while the Big Ten (six) and Big 12 (five) weren’t far behind. The seven first-team picks from the SEC were represented by Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and the Rebels.

Ole Miss and Ohio State were tied for most players on the first team (four), while Baylor landed two players on the first-team. The Buckeyes’ defensive end Joey Bosa and Arizona’s linebacker Scooby Wright III were the only unanimous first-team selections.
