Five Idaho Vandals players were recognized by the Big Sky Conference by being named to the Preseason All-Conference team. Among them was junior tight end Jake Cox, who is expected to step up and make a bigger impact on the offensive side of the ball after catching 12 passes and scoring three touchdowns last season. Three defensive players were also highlighted, including sophomore Dallas Afalava and senior Keyshawn James-Newby, who each tallied 5.0 sacks last season and were named among the top-25 returning FCS players at their respective positions. Senior defensive back Tommy McCormick, a two-time All-Conference honoree, was also recognized for his contributions on defense. Transfer kick returner Abraham Williams, an All-American at Weber State, gained preseason recognition for his skills. The Vandals are gearing up for fall camp set to begin on July 31. This news comes as part of the Big Sky Kickoff weekend in Spokane, showcasing the talent and potential of Idaho’s football program as they look to build on their strengths and continue their success in the upcoming season.
