Ballard, White Receive Preseason Honors
Senior defensive back Ray Ballard was recently voted a 2013 preseason NCAA Division II All-American by USA College Football.
Ballard, a second team all-conference performer last year for the Oilers, was tabbed a first team All-American by the organization and is coming off of his junior season in which he recorded 47 tackles. He also registered five tackles for a loss, four sacks and six passes defensed. The Columbus, Ohio native also forced three fumbles and recovered three as well.
Senior wide receiver Seth White also earned praise from the organization and was tabbed a preseason honorable mention selection.
White did a little bit of everything for Findlay as a junior, serving as a wide receiver, punter and kicker. As a receiver, White led the team with 698 receiving yards and five touchdowns. He caught 48 passes on the year, averaged 36.5 yards per punt and connected on all 30 of his extra point attempts while drilling four field goals as well.
