Gross, a second team all-conference pick in 2005, was not the only Blue Raider honored by TSN. Linebacker J.K. Sabb, cornerback Bradley Robinson, and punter Colby Smith were all tabbed Preseason First Team All-Sun Belt.

In 2005, Gross led the league in scoring, was fifth in rushing, and led all running backs with 33 receptions.

The magazine will hit the newsstands in June.
