Lindy's Selects Three Broncos for All-America Football Team

Offensive tackle Nate Potter was tabbed as a First-Team All-American by Lindy's, a preseason college football publication.  Quarterback Kellen Moore and Billy Winn were chosen for the second team. 

Running back Doug Martin, defensive end Shea McClellin and safety George Iloka were selected along with the three for All-Mountain West honors.  Wide receiver Tyler Shoemaker and center Thomas Byrd were honored as Second-Team All-MWC preseason players.

These preseason lists are fun but of course it only matters what happens on the field.
