FAIRMONT, W.Va. -- Quincy Redmon, a 2016 D2Football.com Honorable Mention All-American defensive end, was named a 2017 Preseason All-American by the same organization on Monday afternoon.
 
Redmon, the 2016 Mountain East Conference Defensive Player of the Year and first team All-MEC selection, enters his senior season after recording a team-high 15 tackles for loss and 12 sacks as a junior. Redmon also finished fourth on the team in tackles with 52 during the 2016 season.
 
Last fall, Redmon helped FSU to a 10-2 overall record and top 40 national rankings in five different categories, including total defense (29^th), rushing defense (31^st), sacks (22^nd), points allowed (17^th) and turnover margin (37^th).
 
Redmon and the Falcons open the 2017 season on Thursday evening when non-conference foe East Stroudsburg comes to town for a 7 p.m. kickoff at Duvall-Rosier Field.
