Texas, Penn St. lead AP preseason All-Americans
Texas edge rusher Colin Simmons is among three Longhorns on The Associated Press All-America team. No. 2 Penn State also had three players, giving the Nittany Lions and Longhorns the most on the team.
Not sure what this "third year", "fourth year" garbage is, are players not Juniors and Seniors anymore? Anyway, congrats to him and I hope he is ready for the season.
