Johns Hopkins senior offensive lineman Colin Egan is one of 25 players named to the D3football.com preseason All-America first team, his third such honor this preseason. Egan also was named a first-team preseason All-American by Lindy's college football preview magazine and the Sporting News.
Egan, who is listed at 6 feet, 4 inches and weighs 300 pounds, earned first-team D3football.com All-America honors last season, one of just three non-seniors to earn that distinction on offense last season. He is one of 21 seniors on the roster for the upcoming season.
