The preseason award watch lists and All-America teams keep coming for college football.

ESPN’s Chris Low unveiled the preseason All-America team for the worldwide leader in sports.

The University of Alabama football team had five names on the list, including a trio of first-team selections. Parker Brailsford (center) and Tyler Booker (offensive guard) highlight the interior offensive line for Alabama on the first team.

Brailsford, a transfer from Washington, helped the Huskies to a Pac-12 Championship and a berth in the College Football Playoff national title game in 2023.

He also anchored Washington’s offensive front to the Joe Moore Award, which goes to the nation’s best offensive unit.

Booker, a former five-star in the 2022 recruiting class, paced the Crimson Tide’s offense to dethroning Georgia in the 2023 Southeastern Conference Championship Game. He is a veteran left guard who is looking for a high first-round draft stock and a national championship.

Graham Nicholson, a transfer kicker from the University of Miami at Ohio, also made first-team as a specialist. He won the Lou Groza Award last season for nation’s top placekicker.

Nicholson replaces Will Reichard for the Tide.

Deontae Lawson (linebacker) and James Burnip (punter) were second-team recognitions.

Alabama was ranked at No. 5 in preseason polls, but the Crimson Tide is set to let the nation know it is still rolling.
