A pair of Portland State football players were named to another All-America list today as Zach Brown and Marquis Jackson were each selected preseason All-Americans by the College Sports Journal.

Brown, a 2011 consensus All-American, led the nation in kicking with 24 field goals. The senior from Keizer, OR has been on every preseason list this year.

Jackson, a transfer from Texas Southern where he was a two-time All-SWAC performer, earned first team honors from CSJ as a defensive end.
