Offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa has been named to the second team Preseason AP All-America Team. Shockingly, he was the only Hurricane to be announced on the team. The likes of Rueben Bain Jr, and Carson Beck are not found on the list similar to last season.

They have to work their way back onto the list as the Canes look to have the most complete team in the Mario Cristobal era. That starts on August 31 against No. 6 Notre Dame in Hard Rock Stadium in an "Orange Out" game.
