BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University's Grant Lillard, Andrew Gutman and Jeremiah Gutjahr were named to the Big Ten Preseason Honors List on Wednesday, the league office announced.
Along with the Preseason Honors List, the conference also announced the preseason coaches' poll, which saw the No. 7-ranked Hoosiers picked to finish second in the league behind No. 6-ranked Maryland.
The honor is the second this preseason for Lillard, who was named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List earlier this month. In 2016, Lillard earned Second-Team All-America honors from both College Soccer News and Top Drawer Soccer, as well as First-Team All-Big Ten and First-Team All-Region accolades. Lillard started all 18 matches in which he appeared for the Hoosiers, helping the IU defense record a goals-against average of 0.70 and post a Big Ten-best 11 shutouts on the year.
A two-time Second-Team All-Big Ten selection, Gutman played a huge part in the Hoosiers' stellar defense in 2016, starting all 21 matches. Gutman totaled one goal and three assists on the season, while also helping Indiana post 11 shutouts. The junior also earned his second All-Region accolade following his 2016 campaign.
The preseason honor is the first in the career for Gutjahr, who appeared in 20 matches last season for IU, earning 11 starts. The junior scored one goal and had one assist on the season coming in Indiana's 2-1 win at No. 2 Louisville. Along with his standout play for the Hoosiers, Gutjahr has to the USMNT U-20 squad for the CONCACAF Championship in February.
