CSN has announced its Pre-Season All-Americans. The UMass announcement listing Matt Austin and Jason Hatchell as members is here .
The CSN article with all 75 players listed is here .
The list is a little strange. Only five CAA players are granted All-American honors. Perhaps the strangest pick is Tim Washington a DE from Appalachian State. He's a transfer from LSU, where he had nine career tackles.
Jeromy Miles from UMass had 61 tackles with Navy and was All-East, ECAC Freshman of the Year and Honorable Mention All-American---and he is not picked.
UPDATE: The CAA website has an article about the five CAA players selected here .
