Brewer, London land on preseason All-Sun Belt second team

Texas State junior offensive lineman Aaron Brewer and junior linebacker Bryan London II were named to the preseason All-Sun Belt second team, the conference announced Friday.

Brewer is coming off a 2017 campaign, where he was named third-team All-Sun Belt. Brewer was also named second-team All-Sun Belt by Phil Steele Magazine in 2017. He’s landed on Athlon Sports and Lindy’s Sports’ 2018 preseason second-team All-Sun Belt.

Brewer started all 12 games for the Bobcats in 2017 - five at center, five at right guard and two at left tackle. The junior from Dallas led Texas State with 68 knockdowns last season.

London  was named an All-Sun Belt honorable mention in 2017 after he finished 10th in the conference in tackles with 91, and ranked eighth overall with two forced fumbles. The Converse native was named to Athlon Sports’ preseason All-Sun Belt first team.

London started all 12 games last season and has started 24 games for the Bobcats.

Brewer and London will represent Texas State at the Sun Belt’s annual media day on Monday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

Texas State begins its 2018 campaign against Rutgers on Saturday, Sept. 1 at 11 a.m. inside High Point Solutions Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey.
