Rashed Jr. Named AP Preseason All-American

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State redshirt senior linebacker Hamilcar Rashed Jr., has been named a preseason All-America First-Team selection, the media organization announced on Tuesday.
 
It is the fourth preseason All-America honor for Phoenix native, who has also been recognized by the Walter Camp Foundation, Phil Steele and The Sporting News. Rashed Jr. is also on preseason watch lists for the Butkus, Nagurski and Bednarik Awards as well as the Lott IMPACT Trophy.
