CHICAGO, Ill. – Stats Perform announced its FCS Preseason All-America Team on Monday, with VMI's Stone Snyder (Defense) and Robert Soderholm (Special Teams) both earning First Team honors.
 
A two-time Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year, Snyder has been a finalist for the Buck Buchanan FCS Defensive Player of the Year award the last two seasons, and was named an All-American by five organizations, including Stats Perform, after the Fall 2021 campaign. This marks the third Preseason All-American honor this year for Snyder (Bluebloods, Athlon).
 
Soderholm has earned All-America recognition for three straight seasons, including two nods from Stats Perform. Earning Preseason All-SoCon First Team honors last week, the long snapper had a 100-percent success rate on his snaps for punts and field goals in the Fall of 2021 en route to All-SoCon First Team honors in 2021.
 
Snyder and Soderholm make up two of the five Southern Conference representatives on the Stats Perform First Team. To view the full list and release, click here.
