Cal CB Camryn Bynum Named to Preseason All-Pac-12 First Team

Cal cornerback Camryn Bynum was named to the Pac-12 preseason first-team all-conference team announced by the conference on Thursday.

Bynum was the only Cal player named to the first team, which was chosen by a vote of media members.

However, five Cal players were named to the preseason second team: inside linebacker Kuony Deng, running back Christopher Brown Jr., safety Elijah Hicks, offensive tackle Jake Curhan and defensive lineman Brett Johnson.

Cal quarterback Chase Garbers was not on the first or second team, with USC's Kedon Slovis and Arizona State's Jayden Daniels named to the first team and second team, respectively.

Cal players who earned honorable mention by virtue of being on at least four ballots are center Michael Saffell, defensive end Zeandae Johnson and linebacker Cameron Goode.
