Introducing NBCSports.com's preseason All-Americans

Jonathan Dwyer, Georgia Tech, Junior

Coach Paul Johnson brought an option-based spread offense to Georgia Tech last season and Dwyer was the most obvious beneficiary.

Dwyer rushed for an ACC-best 1,395 yards and 12 touchdowns, collecting nine 100-yard games along the way.

He’s speedy, powerful and expected to be even more effective after trimming 10 pounds from his frame, now checking in at a svelte 228.
