Juan Zabal on how he envisions his path from Boston College to the NFL
The Mexican linebacker shared with us on the Cuarta Oportunidad podcast some tips for those who are looking for the dream of playing in the NFL.
Williams was named AP Player of the Year before he won the Heisman last season, his first at USC following transferring from Oklahoma.
Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams of USC, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. of Ohio State, and running back Blake Corum of Michigan are among the first-team players reselected to the preseason All-America team announced by The Associated Press this Monday.
Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt and Miami safety Kamren Kinchens also followed up their stellar 2022 seasons by being named preseason All-Americans by AP Top-25 voters.
The two-time defending national champion, No. 1 Georgia, placed the most players on the first team with four: tight end Brock Bowers, center Sedrick Van Pran, safety Malaki Starks and linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson.

No. 3 Ohio State was second, with three. Harrison was joined by fellow wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and linebacker Tommy Eichenberg.
Williams was named AP Player of the Year before he won the Heisman last season, his first at USC following transferring from Oklahoma.
Corum was a Heisman contender last year until an injury late in the season, and he returns to the Wolverines, who are trying to make the College Football Playoff for the third straight season. Michigan guard Zak Zinter was also named to the first team.
The Wolverines — along with Big Ten rivals Penn State and Iowa, plus LSU and Washington — garnered two first-team selections.
The Big Ten led all conferences with 12 first-team players, and the Southeastern Conference was second with seven.
The Pac-12 picked up five first-team selections, led by Williams and including Colorado dual threat Travis Hunter, who is expected to play both wide receiver and cornerback for coach Deion Sanders.
