FOOTBALL: The Sports Network, which sponsors the NCAA Division I FCS Walter Payton, Buck Buchanan and Eddie Robinson Awards, has released its 2010 Division I FCS Pre-Season All-America teams.
Twelve players from the Big Sky Conference were selected to the three teams. Weber State guard J.C. Oram (6-4, 310 Junior from Slaterville) was selected to the Second Team offense.
It is the second time this season Oram has been named to a pre-season All-America team. Last month he was named Second Team by Phil Steele's Football Preview Magazine.
Six players from the Big Sky Conference were named to the First Team, which included nearly the entire backfield. Northern Arizona's Michael Herrick was named at quarterback. Eastern Washington's Taiwan Jones and Montana's Chase Reynolds were named running backs.
On defense, Big Sky First Teamers included Christian Clark (DE-Sacramento State), J.C. Sherritt (LB-Eastern Washington) and Trumaine Johnson (CB-Montana).
