On Tuesday senior offensive lineman Will Hernandez was named to the 2017 AP Preseason All-America second team.

Along with this honor, Hernandez was announced to the 2017 Outland Trophy Watch List, noted by Athlon Sports on the Preseason All-Conference USA first team and Preseason All-America third team.
