App State's Jolly Recognized as Preseason All-American

BOONE, N.C. — Street and Smith's has named App State cornerback Shaun Jolly a preseason All-American in its 2020 college football yearbook.

Jolly is listed as a second-team selection, making him the only player from a Group of Five program recognized among the 50 players on the two All-America teams.

Last season, as a sophomore and first-year starter on a 13-1 team, Jolly was named a second-team All-American by PFF College, which assigned him an overall performance grade of 91.7 that tied for first place nationally among 496 qualifying FBS cornerbacks.

He intercepted five passes in 2019, tied for the FBS lead with two pick-six touchdowns and added eight PBUs, 45 tackles and 3.
