Senior cornerback DeJuan Tribble was selected to the ESPN.com Preseason All-America Team. Tribble, who earned All-ACC second-team honors in 2006, was the only ACC player to gain preseason defensive accolades. There were two ACC players selected to the offensive squad and two players named on special teams.
Tribble, who hails from Cincinnati, Ohio, made seven interceptions last fall, returning three for touchdowns. His first return for a touchdown was a 36-yarder at Florida State. The second was a 42-yard return against Maryland, while the third was a 22-yarder at Miami.
Tribble enters his final collegiate season with 135 tackles - 112 solos and 23 assists. In addition, he has recorded 11 interceptions, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and eight tackles for loss.
