EmailPrintText SizeRudolph and Floyd Named Preseason All-American
Posted: May 11, 2010 8:55 PM CDT
University of Notre Dame juniors Michael Floyd and Kyle Rudolph have both been selected 2010 preseason first-team All-Americans by Lindy's. Floyd and Rudolph are the only teammates selected to the first-team offense by the magazine. Notre Dame tied for the most first-team All-Americans with Georgia, Nebraska, Pittsburgh and UCLA.
A 6-3, 220-pound wide receiver from St. Paul, Minn., Floyd has averaged 84.1 receiving yards per game for his career, tops among all active players in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. He has totaled 92 receptions for 1,514 yards with 16 touchdowns in his career and has started 17 of 18 career games played. In 2009, Floyd started all seven games he played and he ranked second on the team with 44 catches for 795 yards and nine TDs.
Last year Rudolph was the only sophomore named a semifinalist for the John Mackey Award, the trophy presented annually to college football's top tight end. Of the eight Mackey Award semifinalists from 2009, only Rudolph returns this year. The Cincinnati, Ohio, junior has registered 62 receptions for 704 yards in his Irish career with five TDs and has started 22 of 23 career games played. He started nine of 10 games played in 2009 and ranked third on the team with 33 receptions for 364 yards and three TDs. Rudolph has also been named a preseason third-team All-American by NationalChamps.net.
