COLLEGE PARK, Md. -
University of Maryland guard Andrew Crummey was named to the 2007 ESPN.com Preseason All-America football team, adding another accolade to his impressive list of summer honors.
The senior was selected as a second team All-American by The Sporting News, as well as first team All-ACC by Athlon, Blue Ribbon Yearbook, Lindy's, The Sporting News and Street and Smith's.
Six ACC players were selected to the 25-man team, the most of any conference. Crummey was joined by Wake Forest center Steve Justice and place-kicker Sam Swank, Boston College cornerback DeJuan Tribble, Miami safety Kenny Phillips and Georgia Tech punter Durant Brooks.
A two-year starter at right guard, Crummey helped pave the way for running backs Lance Ball and Keon Lattimore to rush for more than 700 yards each last season. The offensive line as a whole allowed only 19 sacks, the second fewest in the ACC, and Crummey was named to the All-ACC second team.
He has 28 career starts, most on the team, and has proven to be a durable and dependable lineman, missing only one start in his last 24 games. As a freshman, he played in 10 games, starting five, and was named a second team Freshman All-American by The Sporting News.
Maryland is in its second week of preseason camp and kicks off the regular season on Saturday, Sept. 1 when it plays host to Villanova at 6 p.m. from Chevy Chase Bank Field at Byrd Stadium.
Single-game and season tickets for this fall's six-game home slate are on sale through the Maryland Athletics Ticket Office. Fans may call 1-800-IM-A-TERP or click here.
