BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Athlon Sports has recognized Indiana fifth-year senior offensive lineman Dan Feeney as a preseason first team All-American.
Feeney, an ESPN, Associated Press, CBS Sports and SI.com All-America selection as a redshirt junior in 2015, has allowed just one sack in 37 career starts at right guard (2,719 snaps). In 2015, he did not allow a sack in 475 called pass attempts.
The Orland Park, Ill., native finished with a team-best 102 knockdowns in 1,069 snaps. A first team All-Big Ten honoree, Feeney was also an Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award Watch Lister.
Indiana finished 2015 first in total offense, passing offense and scoring offense, while placing second in rushing offense in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers became the first team since Ohio State in 1995 to lead the league in total, passing and scoring offense.
IU led the Big Ten in scoring offense for the first time since the league began using the entire season as the statistical champion in 1985. Indiana had not led the league in total offense since 1988.
The Hoosiers became the fourth college football team to have a 3,500-yard passer, a pair of 1,000-yard running backs and a 1,000-yard receiver in the same year. IU was also one of only two Power Five conference teams with two 1,000-yard running backs (Baylor).
In addition to Feeney, redshirt junior Griffin Oakes (1st team), junior wide receiver Simmie Cobbs, Jr., (2nd team), junior running back Devine Redding (3rd team) and sophomore safety Jonathan Crawford (3rd team) carded preseason All-Big Ten honors.
Associate head coach/defense Tom Allen was rated the eighth-best coordinator hire nationally this offseason.
Indiana kicks off its seven-game home schedule against Ball State on Saturday, Sept. 10. The Hoosiers also host Wake Forest (Sept. 24), Michigan State (Oct. 1), Nebraska (Oct. 15), Maryland (Oct. 29), Penn State (Nov. 12) and Purdue (Nov. 26). Season tickets are available by clicking here, by phone at 1-866-IUSPORTS or in person at the Assembly Hall Ticket Office.
IU opens the 2016 campaign at Florida International on Thursday, Sept. 1.
