STATESBORO -
Phil Steele Magazine has released its 2019 Preseason All-Sun Belt Team, headlined by four Georgia Southern football players earning first-team honors. In total, 10 GS players were named to 11 spots on the squad, including three defensive players earning first-team nods.

Being selected to the first team were defensive end Raymond Johnson III and cornerbacks Monquavion Brinson and Kindle Vildor. Tyler Bass was named the league's first-team kicker. 

Nose guard Ty Phillips was named to the second team as a defensive tackle and junior long snapper Ryan Langan was also a second-team selection.

Four GS players were represented on the third team: quarterback Shai Werts on offense, linebackers Reynard Ellis and Rashad Byrd on defense and Wesley Kennedy III as the punt returned. Kennedy III also garnered fourth-team plaudits as the kick returner.

As a team, the Eagles were picked third in the Sun Belt East Division behind Appalachian State and Troy.
