LAS VEGAS-Tuesday, at the Mountain West Conference’s Football Media Day summit, a pair of Utah State standouts were named to the preseason all-conference squad.
Tight end Dax Raymond was named to the all-Mountain West preseason offensive squad and kicker Dominik Eberle was named to the all-conference special teams squad.
Overall, this team consists of 25 members, 17 of whom were all-Mountain West selections last season.
Eberle is among those as he was a Lou Groza award finalist last season. This award is annually given to the top placekicker in college football. He is coming off a season wherein he scored 101 points, making all 47 of his PAT attempts and connecting on 75 percent of his field goals (18 of 24).
In a 61-10 win at San Jose State last September 23, Eberle set a school-record with 19 points in the game, making all four of his field goal attempts and all seven of his PAT’s.
Raymond was named as honorable mention all-Mountain West by the conference’s coaches last season after netting 41 grabs for 456 yards and one score last season.
The all-conference preseason QB is Boise State’s Brett Rypien and was one of eight Broncos on the all-MWC preseason roster.
