NEW HAVEN, CT – Appalachian State cornerback Shaun Jolly and Troy linebacker Carlton Martial were named preseason first-team All-Americans by the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the organization announced on Thursday.

Jolly and Martial were the only two Group of Five players on the Walter Camp All-America First Team and just one of two G5 players from the defensive side of the football on the first or second team.

Last season, as a sophomore and first-year starter on a 13-1 team, Jolly was named a second-team All-American by PFF College, which assigned him an overall performance grade of 91.7 that tied for first place nationally among 496 qualifying FBS cornerbacks.

He intercepted five passes in 2019, tied for the FBS lead with two pick-six touchdowns and added eight PBUs, 45 tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss.

Martial, a former walk-on, became just the 12th player and first underclassman in the last 20 years at the FBS level to finish a season with at least 100 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and three interceptions. He closed the year with 126 tackles, the most by a Troy player since 2000, and 18.5 tackles for loss, the fifth most in a season in Troy history, and three picks.

In all, 33 different schools from eight conferences are represented on the Preseason All-America teams, with a total of 50 players selected. Walter Camp, considered the "Father of American Football," first named an All-America team in 1889, and the 2020 season will be the 131st edition of the team.
