Terrell Whitehead Named to Preseason All-America 1st Team


NORFOLK, Va.
? Norfolk State rising senior defensive back Terrell Whitehead (Virginia Beach, Va.) was named to the Consensus Draft Services (CDS) Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Preseason All-America First Team.

He had the second-most passes defended (15) of any MEAC player, tallying four interceptions and 11 pass deflections. His four picks give him 13 for his career and tied for third in the MEAC.

 

Whitehead is a two-time All-MEAC first-team selection, and has been named to The Sports Network’s FCS All-America third team each of the past two seasons.
