4 Arizona football players named Athlon Sports preseason All-Americans

Another college football outlet has put out its preseason All-American teams, and a quartet of Wildcats made the cut.

Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan was named to Athlon Sports’ 1^st Team All-America squad, while cornerback Tacario Davis got a 3^rd Team spot and both linebacker Jacob Manu and offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea made the 4^th Team.

It’s the second preseason All-America nod for Davis, Manu and McMillan, who each got one previously from Phil Steele Magazine. McMillan was also a 1^st Team choice from that outlet, while Davis and Manu were on the 3^rd Team.

Those four UA players are among five Wildcats on Athlon’s preseason 1^st Team All-Big 12 squad, along with kicker Tyler Loop. Overall there are 12 Arizona players on the preseason team, with four on the 3^rd Team (QB Noah Fifita, OL Josh Baker, DE Tre Smith and DB Treydan Stukes) and three on the 4^th Team (RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt, OL Wendell Moe and DB Gunner Maldonado).
