MOBILE, Ala. – University of South Alabama football student-athletes Jalen Tolbert (first team), Keith Gallmon (third team) and Devin Rockette (honorable mention) each earned preseason All-American honors Monday as the trio was selected by Pro Football Network.
For Tolbert, the national honor marks the second of the summer for the senior-to-be as he was also selected fourth-team All-American by Phil Steele Publications last month. In addition to garnering the two preseason All-America honors, Tolbert was also named first-team all-Sun Belt by the organization, while Gallmon and Rockette received third-team accolades.
Tolbert ranks as the top returning wide receiver in the nation ahead of the 2021 college football season as the 6-foot-3 receiver finished last season with 64 receptions, 1,085 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches, making him one of two 1,000-yard receivers in the Sun Belt and one of 11 in the country.
