It must be the trend now to send press releases to the schools about the All-American and All-conference squads before actually putting the information out there for the preseason publications. Lindy’s, Athlon, Sporting News and now Blue Ribbon Yearbook has it’s All-BE team.
Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm was projected as the offensive player of the year, Pitt defensive back Darrelle Revis was tabbed the defensive player of the year, and Louisville’s Deantwan Whitehead as named newcomer of the year.
West Virginia led the way with seven picks, followed by Louisville (six) and Rutgers (four).
Not sure what Pitt players made the squad. Blue Ribbon doesn’t actually release its tome (almost 400 pages) until July.
