ESPN Pre-season All-America Team
One Wolverine featured on the first team, I bet you can guess who:

Barrett, Michael.

Looks like another Georga/Alabama circle jerk.

Will Johnson will be first team at the end of the year and the 2 RB's will be Corum and Edwards.

Hoping several others join Blake on the “end of season” All American team.

That Bama guard didn't even start last year, but he's from Bama and he has "upside" so naturally ESPN has to pick him over Zinter.

I don't get the Bama guard being on the list; he's probably going to be really good but this is based purely on vibes since he didn't even start last year save the bowl game. Also, Fashanu being on the list feels way more like draft hype than actual performance, as he looked...fine last year but wasn't lights-out.
I think Harold Perkins is going to be a really good player but he's going from edge to inside LBer and that's a big transition for a second-year player, especially one who wasn't great against the run last season and now will be tasked with navigating even more junk.

Well, Booker was a freshman all-American to Pro Football Focus last season and we all know how reliable that is for OL.

Corum deserves the recognition and ESPN will figure out real quick Will Johnson is the real deal.
Being familiar with the Bama guard he’s apparently going to be dominating from a lot of reports. I haven’t seen him.
After seeing Zinter blocking more air than bodies vs TCU I have no problem with someone getting the nod over him. Dee Winters made Zinter look 3rd string at times. Winters was a 6th round pick for the 9er’s.
If you don’t recall that watch the film.
