 Both wide receiver Ellis Henderson (pictured) and defensive end Zack Wagenmann were named to The Sports Network's 2014 preseason All-America FCS second team. Henderson, a junior from Portland, Ore., was named to the prestigious team as an "all-purpose" player. Last season he led the Griz with team-highs of 43 receptions for 1,008 yards and 14 receiving touchdowns. He was also ranked among the top return men in the FCS. Wagenmann, a senior from Missoula, was ranked among the Big Sky Conference's leaders in sacks, and tackles for loss and was a first team all-conference selection. So props to those guys. Can't wait to watch them perform this year! DB
