CJ Stroud of tOSU, Alabama's Bryce Young and Clemson's Daniel Uiagalelei place high despite limited experience.

4. Watermelon, served cold, with seeds
5. Peach cobbler
6. 4 squares of dark chocolate with a glass of red wine
7. 3 chocolate chip cookies, still warm from the oven with a glass of cold milk
8. Chocolate mint Yasso bars
9. Skip dessert--nothing enters this temple except protein shakes, brown rice, sweet potatoes, chicken breast or albacore tuna
10. Chocolate pudding
11. Raspberry sorbet
12. Lemon meringue pie

Others receiving votes: Greek yogurt with frozen mixed berries, vanilla pudding, chocolate cake

Relegated to the FCS: Oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips, butterscotch pudding, tiramasu, baklava

Article from NBC Sports:

“There’s no doubt, I think his physical tools are as good as anybody I’ve ever seen,” Brees said, via Fernando Ramirez of SI.com. “By all accounts, he’s a great worker. He’s got great leadership qualities, he’s got a lot of intangibles. So I think the sky is the limit for a guy like him.

“I love the fact that he’s in this offense with Joe Lombardi. Lombardi comes from the New Orleans Saints, was my quarterbacks coach for almost all 15 years there. So I think he brings a ton of knowledge and experience — not only coaching quarterbacks but also within the system that we ran. And I think he’ll be able to tailor-make that for Justin’s skills, and obviously the tools and weapons that he has around him.”

EUGENE, Ore. – The Walter Camp Foundation named Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux to its 2021 preseason first-team All-America team on Thursday.

Thibodeaux, a third-year sophomore, is the lone Pac-12 Conference player on the first team. In his two years at Oregon, he has combined for 12 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss in just 21 games while totaling 73 tackles, three pass deflections, a forced fumble and a blocked punt. In two Pac-12 Championship Games, Thibodeaux has 18 quarterback pressures, 10 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and 3.4 sacks.

The 6-foot-5, 250-pound defensive end earned first-team All-Pac-12 Conference honors as a sophomore in 2020 while also claiming All-America honors from the FWAA, The Athletic, Phil Steele and the Associated Press. He won the Morris Trophy, which honors the top defensive lineman in the Pac-12, in 2020 in a vote of the league’s offensive linemen.

Thibodeaux is on the preseason Walter Camp All-America first team for the second consecutive season.
