Another Preseason All-America Team

College Sports Journal, which knows its way around the FCS, has listed its preseason All-America teams and the Ivy League is well represented:

First Team
Offense
QB Jeff Mathews, Senior, Cornell
Defense
DT Caraun Reid, Senior, Princeton

Second Team
Offense
AP Tyler Varga, Junior, Yale
Defense
DE Zach Hodges, Junior, Harvard
Third Team
Offense
WR Shane Savage, Senior, Richmond

TE Cameron Brate, Senior, Harvard

So why is a player from Richmond included on this list of Ivy Leaguers? Shane Savage graduated from Cornell and is using his final year of eligibility at Richmond. Pay no attention to the word "transferred" in the bio. That's inaccurate. So is the 2008 listing as "redshirted."

Cornell has Quick Facts here and Harvard has what it calls an online media guide (their word, not mine) here.
The Penn preview goes up on BGA Premium later today from Happy Valley and Princeton will be posted tomorrow.
