BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell offensive tackle Mike Edwards has been named a 2023 preseason FCS All-American by multiple outlets.

Edwards has been named Preseason First Team All-American by Phil Steele, while taking second team honors from Stats Perform and The Bluebloods.

A graduate student, Edwards is coming off an All-American campaign for the Camels, earning second team honors from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and third team accolades from Phil Steele in 2022.

A Hope Mills native, Edwards was also named First Team All-Big South following the 2022 season, anchoring the left side of an offensive line that helped CU set a single season passing yards record for the second straight year. Edwards started Campbell's first nine games before being lost due to injury, pushing the Camels to 500 or more yards or total offense four times.

Edwards added East-West Shrine Bowl 1000 and Reese's Senior Bowl watch list mentions last season.

Phil Steele also named its preseason All-CAA teams, featuring four Fighting Camels. Edwards earned first team honors, while right tackle Tyler McLellan was named to the publication's second team. Linebacker CJ Tillman was also named third team All-CAA by Phil Steele, with kicker Caleb Dowden collecting fourth team accolades.
