Three members of the Norwich University football team have been named to the 20th Annual USA College Football Inc. preseason teams, as announced by the organization on Friday afternoon.

Senior defensive lineman Matt Simonelli (Scituate, R.I.) has been named an All-American Third Team preseason selection, while also being named to the All-Region team alongside offensive linemen Matt Gallagher (Morris Plains, N.Y.) and Sean Southworth (Exeter, N.H.).

Simonelli saw action in nine games for the Cadets last season and contributed a team second-best 54.5 tackles, including 44 solo tackles. He also totaled eight tackles-for-loss and three pass deflections on the season.

The Cadets kick off the 2012 season on September 1 at 1:30 p.m. when they host Western New England in non-conference action at Sabine Field.
