LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The preseason accolades are rolling in for the Aggies.
Five NM State football student-athletes were named to Phil Steele's 2020 Preseason All-Independent Team, headlined by redshirt junior long snapper Austin Reeves' first-team selection.
Redshirt junior running back O'Maury Samuels, redshirt senior offensive lineman Sage Doxtater, senior linebacker Rashie Hodge Jr. and redshirt sophomore linebacker Devin Richardson, meanwhile, all earned second-team recognition.
Reeves, a native of Huntersville, N.C., transferred to NM State from Virginia Tech and made his Aggie debut last season.
