No brainer on Sankey's selection. If he stays healthy he will be a 1st team FCS All-American and Buchanan award finalist for this season which will probably parlay him into a late round draft pick.

Hornetsports release:

PHILADELPHIA — Sacramento State linebacker Darnell Sankey was named to the STATS Preseason FCS All-America team, it was announced today. Sankey was one of four linebackers on the first team.

Idaho State got a lot of love on the offensive side of the ball...and rightfully so given what they return.
