MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Two Middle Tennessee football players were named to the 2017 Preseason All-Conference USA as announced by the league office Monday.

Receiver Richie James and place-kicker Canon Rooker were selected to the preseason team, which is selected by the 14 C-USA head coaches, who can't vote for players on their team.

James is a two-time, first-team All C-USA selection and currently ranks second all-time in receptions and receiving yards at Middle Tennessee, while also standing fourth all-time in touchdown catches. He also has been named to the Paul Hornung Award Watch List as one of the most versatile players in the nation.
