2013 Preseason All-American Teams

[Whiskeyjack]

Phil Steele just published his 2013 Preseason All-American team.

Nix and Tuitt made 1st team defense, and Z. Martin made 3rd team offense.

21 of the players listed play for teams we'll face next season.

All well deserved. Of the players we play, Will Sutton scares the crap out of me.

Is Clinton-Dix first name really Ha Ha?

Is Clinton-Dix first name really Ha Ha?

His real name is Ha'Sean but he's known as Ha Ha. His UA Media Guide Profile doesn't mention Ha'Sean just Ha Ha.

Is Clinton-Dix first name really Ha Ha?

Better. It's Ha'Sean but he goes by Ha Ha. Presumably because that's what people say when he tells them his name is Ha'Sean.

Oh and he is really good and was all over the place in the NCG

 

[NDdomer2]

Thanks fellas. I knew about him and everything just read that name in the list and thought no way.

How in the world did Lynch get the 4th team when he did not play last year?

I find it funny that both Darby and Kei'Vare are on there as the Sophomore CB's.

True. But it would be funnier if they both played for us.

Tuitt made the team but Nix was unbelievably left off.

 

[dwshade]

Johnson and Sutton are fine players but Nix is the top DT/NT in the country. Hands down.

 

[ThePiombino]

I try not to fuel the "ESPN hates ND" debate, but this does nothing to help that. At all. Rucking fidiculous.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Ha! all this does is make Big Lou more ferocious. I doubt that Hoke or the Michigan center enjoyed reading that Lou was snubbed.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

How about throwing JF under the bus and putting Mariota in there?
