Nevada Football: Four named to preseason All-Mountain West team

Four Wolf Pack players were named to the preseason All-Mountain West team Thursday.

Composed of just one team, the four players were: Quarterback Carson Strong, wide receiver Romeo Doubs, tight end Cole Turner and kicker Brandon Talton.

Strong was recently named to the Davey O’Brien Award watch list and was given preseason Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year honors Thursday morning. He led the Mountain West in passing yards (2,858), completion percentage (70.1), pass efficiency (160.6) and passing touchdowns (27) with just four picks last year.

He was the first ever sophomore and the first Nevada player — since the program joined in 2012 — to win the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year award in 2020.
