2009 Division II Preseason Consensus Draft Services All-American Teams

The Consensus Draft Services released their annual Division II preseason All-American teams on Tuesday morning.

Senior left tackle Terence Crosby headlines the offensive linemen as a first team pick. The 6'2 300 pound Crosby will be a four-year starter this fall and was recognized as an AFCA All-American in 2008.

Other Catawba Indians can be found on this All-American squad, and they are listed in the honorable mention section.

UNC quarterback Cameron Sexton has yet to take a snap in Salisbury, NC, but the CDS selection committee felt that the Tribe's transfer signal-caller will be one of the nation's more productive players in 2009.

Sexton played in eight games during his junior season for the Tar Heels, completing 94 of 168 attempts for 1,261 yards and 9 touchdowns.

Defensive end Marcus Davis is also listed as an honorable mention pick on the defensive line.

Davis is one of many Indian prospects creating pro buzz after a sensational junior year.

In 2008, the 6'2 240 pound defensive end registered 37 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and six sacks.

Another senior defensive lineman, Melquan Fair, joins Davis on the honorable mention team.

Fair has been a cornerstone to Catawba's 4-3 scheme each of the past two seasons.

As a two time First Team All-SAC pick, Fair collected 36 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks last season.
