Saquon Barkley highlights nine Big Ten stars on AP preseason All-America Team

One day after releasing its preseason top 25 poll, the AP released its preseason all-america team.

Editor's note: We originally had the Big Ten with eight players honored, missing Tegray Scales. We have added the Indiana linebacker.

Nine Big Ten stars made the list, including four first-teamers, headlined by Penn State RB Saquon Barkley. Teammate Mike Gesicki, Ohio State's Billy Price and Iowa's Josey Jewell joined Barkley on the first team.
