Four LSU Tigers and one Louisiana Tech Bulldog were named to a nation-leading five selections on the CBSSports.com Preseason All-America First Team that was announced on Monday.

The Southeastern Conference produced 11 total players on the first team, including three from the Tigers' defense - cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, safetyEric Reid and defensive end Sam Montgomery. Mathieu was also named a first-team All-America punt returner. Sophomore punter Brad Wing was recognized on the first-team special teams as well.

While LSU garnered five first-team spots, Alabama and Southern Cal were second with three selections. In addition, defensive end Barkevious Mingo was named to the CBSSports.com second team.

Mathieu, the 2011 National Defensive Player of the Year, was a unanimous All-America selection a year ago. In his 26 game career, the Heisman finalist has created a total of 14 turnovers and holds the LSU and SEC record for forced fumbles with 11.
