Rogers, Henderson Tabbed Pre-Season All-Americans
Mustangs Earn Honorable Mention Accolades
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - SMU defensive end Justin Rogers and kick returner
Jessie Henderson have been tabbed pre-season honorable mention
All-Americans by Street & Smith, the magazine revealed today. The
Mustangs also have two preseason All-Conference USA players in Rogers
and defensive back Joe Sturdivant.
Rogers earned second-team All-C-USA honors a year ago and shared SMU
Defensive MVP honors with Rolando Humphrey and Sturdivant. He led
Conference USA in sacks with seven and ranked in the top 10 in
tackles-for-loss and forced fumbles.
Henderson was co-winner of the James Bradley "New Mustang" award for
consistent play along with DeMyron Martin. A standout kick returner, he
was a third-team CollegeFootballNews.com Freshman All-American and a
third-team All-C-USA pick. He led Conference USA and ranked 13th in the
NCAA with a 27.6 ypr average.
Sturdivant, a second-team 2005 All-C-USA honoree, was SMU Defensive
Co-MVP along with Humphrey and Rogers. He was twice named the Conference
USA Defensive Player of the Week and was the only defensive player in
the league to win the honor multiple times in 2005. He led the Mustangs
in tackles and pass breakups and ranked first in passes defended (14)
and was fourth in stops (112) in Conference USA. His 112 tackles were 33
more than his closest teammate, and he had nine or more tackles in nine
games.
