Washington Husky linebacker Azeem Victor has been named to the Sports Illustrated preseason All-America team. The senior out of Pomona, California was third on the team last year with 67 total tackles.

Victor, who was an All-Pac-12 first team selection in 2016, suffered a broken leg and played in just 10 games last season.

Huskies running back Myles Gaskin was named to SI’s All-America second team. The junior out of Lynwood, Washington ran for 1,373 yards and 10 touchdowns last year. He was named first-team All-Pac-12.
