With football season on the horizon, preseason honors are already being handed out. Athlon Sports has named eight Hilltoppers to the 2019 All-Conference USA Team in its annual college football magazine.
Offensive lineman Miles Pate, wide receiver Lucky Jackson, tight end Kyle Fourtenbary, offensive lineman Tyler Witt, defensive end DeAngelo Malone, safety Ta’Corian Darden, defensive lineman Juwuan Jones and safety Devon Key were the Hilltoppers who received honors from Athlon Sports.
Pate was the only first team selection for the Hilltoppers. The Lawrenceville, Georgia, native earned an All-C-USA Second Team nod at his right tackle spot following last season.
