TROY, Ala. – Paced by five on the first team, Troy landed 12 players on the Athlon Sports Preseason All-Sun Belt Team, the annual magazine released recently.
Wide receiver Kaylon Geiger, defensive tackle Will Choloh, safety Dell Pettus, linebacker Carlton Martial and kickoff returner Reggie Todd were all first team selections for the Trojans.
Geiger, a rising senior, was named the Sun Belt Newcomer of Year after he finished second in the league in receptions, yards and yards per game. His 77 receptions ranked as the third most in a season in Troy history while his 873 yards finished just shy of the top 10; he tied the school record after topping the 100-yard mark in five different games.
