LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech defensive back Kevin Curtis has been named to a preseason All-America football team for the second time this week, with Street & Smith's magazine tabbing the Red Raider safety to its second team. He was named a first team preseason All-America selection by Football News June 19.
Curtis is one of 11 players from the Big 12 Conference to be tabbed as either first or second team preseason All-Americans by the publication. Street & Smith's College Football 2000 will be on the newsstands July 1.
A junior from Lubbock-Coronado High School, Curtis led Texas Tech and the Big 12 in tackles last season with 153 total stops, 93 solo, from his safety position. He also recorded three interceptions, three tackles for loss and broke up six passes on the way to an all-conference selection.
