TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State junior tight end Todd Heap has been named a preseason First Team All-American by CollegeFootballNews.com, an online service based in Chicago, Ill.
Heap joins such notable players as Virginia Tech quarterback Michael Vick and Mississippi running back Deuce McAllister among the First Team selections.
The Mesa, Ariz., product established a single-season receiving record for ASU tight ends with 55 catches for 832 yards in 1999. Both those numbers were also tops among all Sun Devil receivers last season. Heap was rewarded for his efforts with First Team All-Pac-10 honors and a spot on the Seattle Post-Intelligencer All-Pac-10 Team.
