Now, Alabama A&M has been picked as this year s favorite with senior quarterback Aqeel Glass (St. Louis, Mo.) being named the new Preseason Offensive Player of the Year.
The Bulldogs led the original tally with nine Preseason All-SWAC selections and added to that total with the addition of Second-Team honorees junior running back Gary Quarles (Cottondale, Ala.) and sophomore offensive lineman Jonathan Williams (Mobile, Ala.). On top of that, Glass star continues to rise as he moved from Second-Team up to the First-Team.
