Athlon Sports Press Release

LEXINGTON, Va. – Following two seasons of consecutive All-America honors, VMI senior linebacker Stone Snyder enters the season as one of the top FCS linebackers in the country as he was named to Athlon's 2022 Preseason All-America team.
 
Last season, Snyder earned First Team All-Southern Conference honors for a second straight year and was recognized by the media as the SoCon Defensive Player of the Year. He led the league in tackles for the second straight season averaging 10.9 per game and totaled 120 for the year (49 solo, 71 assisted).
 
Following the 2021 fall season, he was named an All-American by five separate entities: Phil Steele,  American Football Coaches Association, Athlon, Stats Perform and Hero Sports.
 
Snyder led the team in tackles for loss (11 for 36 yards), sacks (4), quarterback hurries (5) and fumble recoveries with three. He was named SoCon Defensive Player of the Week Sept. 27 after a season-best 19 tackles against Wofford and was also selected to the 2021 Buck Buchanan Top 25 Watch list for the second straight year.
 
He is one of three Southern Conference athletes named to the list as Chattanooga OL Curtis McClendon and DL Devonnsha Maxwell were also honored.
