[JULY 16, 2005]  CHICAGO -- Illinois State's senior punter Ryan Hoffman garnered his second preseason all-America accolade on Friday when he was named to the I-AA.org 2005 Preseason All-America team.

Hoffman, a second-team all-conference selection in 2004, ranked No. 3 in the nation last season with a 43.87 yard punting average, which was tops in the Gateway. In 2003, Hoffman guided the Redbirds to a No. 1 national ranking in net punting at 39.2 yards per kick.

Including Hoffman, nine players from the Gateway Football Conference were recognized as I-AA.org selections, including Western Kentucky defensive back Antonio Thomas and Missouri State kicker Jon Scifres, who both earned first-team honors.
