Heisman runner-up RB Love highlights All-america team

-

Heisman Trophy runner-up Bryce Love of Stanford and Outland Trophy winner Ed Oliver of Houston highlight The Associated Press preseason All-america team.

Chosen by AP poll voters, the team announced Tuesday also features West Virginia’s Will Grier at quarterbac­k.

Love, along with Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell, Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Edwards and Utah kicker Matt Gay, were the only players who made first team All-american after last season and first team to start this season.

Clemson and Wisconsin led the way with three players each on the first team.

Louisiana State: Tigers sophomore offensive lineman Ed Ingram was arrested on sexual assault charges in early August, around the same time the projected starter was suspended indefinite­ly for an unspecifie­d violation of team rules, authoritie­s in Dallas said.

Ingram started 12 games as a freshman last season.

Memphis: Quarterbac­k Brady White will start the Tigers’ Sept. 1 season opener with Mercer.

White, a graduate transfer from Arizona State with two years of eligibilit­y remaining, won a competitio­n with sophomore David Moore. Memphis coach Mike Norvell said Moore has left the program and plans to transfer.

South Alabama: The city of Mobile, Alabama, is refusing to put $10 million into an oncampus stadium for South Alabama. City Council members reportedly voted against the proposal 4-3 on Tuesday.
