The TNIAAM staff may be #disloyalidiots, but AP writers certainly aren’t. Syracuse Orange safety Andre Cisco was named a first-team All-American by the AP, as was announced on Tuesday.
Along with the first-team AP honors, Cisco was also picked as a preseason All-American by Lindy’s, Phil Steele, Sporting News and Street & Smith’s this summer. The junior is the country’s active interceptions leader with 12, and is second in the country with 1.27 passes defended per game. We don’t yet know if this will be his final season with the Orange or not, but he’s also just seven interceptions from tying Markus Paul’s career record of 19, which he set from 1985-88.
