The preseason All-American and All-Pac-12 teams announced will appear in Phil Steele's 2011 College Football Preview hitting newsstands June 7. Bryan Anger (Sr., P) earned a third-team All-American selection and was joined on the first-team All-Pac-12 squad by Mychal Kendricks (Sr., LB) and Mitchell Schwartz (Sr., OT). Keenan Allen (So., WR) was a second-team All-Pac-12 selection, while D.J. Holt (Sr., LB), Marvin Jones (Sr., WR) picked up third-team honors. Sean Cattouse (Sr., S), Trevor Guyton (Sr., DT) and Giorgio Tavecchio (Sr., K) were fourth-team choices.
Anger's preseason All-American selection was his second of 2011 as he was previously named a preseason All-American by GoDaddy.com. Anger is coming off two consecutive first-team All-Pac-10 selections, only the second Cal punter to earn all-conference honors in two consecutive seasons. He broke a 23-year-old single-season Cal school record with a 45.6 yard punting average in 2010 to rank second in the Pac-10 and sixth nationally . He was also a second-time Ray Guy Award semifinalist in 2010. In his first three seasons at Cal from 2008-10, Anger has posted a 43.3 average that is second all-time at Cal behind Scott Tabor's 44.0 (1986-87) while playing in all 38 contests. Kendricks was previously named an honorable mention All-American by GoDaddy.com and is on the watch list for the prestigious Lott IMPACT Award. He earned second-team All-Pac-10 honors as one of the top big-play players in the league in 2010, leading Cal and ranking among the conference and national leaders with 8.5 sacks (0.71 per game, No. 2 Pac-10, No. 26-T NCAA) and 15.0 tackles for loss (1.25 per game, No. 4 Pac-10, No. 28-T NCAA). He was also tied for first in the Pac-10 with three fumble recoveries (0.25 per game), while his 66 tackles was fourth on the team and his average of 5.5 stops per game ranked No. 31 in the Pac-10. He added an interception. Kendricks heads into his senior season at Cal in 2011 as the team's active career leader in tackles (152), tackles for loss (22.0, -85 yards), sacks (10.5, -69 yards), fumble recoveries (5) and blocked kicks (1), while tying for the team's active lead by having played in all 38 games possible over his first three seasons. His other career numbers include 18 starts, two interceptions that he has returned for 68 yards and a touchdown, three pass breakups and a forced fumble. Schwartz, a third-team preseason All-American choice of GoDaddy.com, has started all 38 games on the Golden Bears' offensive line over the past three seasons, including 12 during a 2010 campaign in which he was a second-team All-Pac-10 choice and anchored an offensive line that blocked for 1,167-yard rusher Shane Vereen. He was also a member of the Jewish Sports Review's 2010 College Football All-American team and has been an honorable mention Pac-10 All-Academic selection each of the past three seasons. Allen racked up the honors in a record-setting rookie season in 2010, highlighted by a fourth-team Freshman All-American selection from Phil Steele and an honorable mention nod from College Football News. He was also a second-team All-Pac-10 selection as an all-purpose player according to Scout and a fourth-team All-Pac-10 choice by Steele at wide receiver. Allen posted one of the top seasons by a true freshman wide receiver in school history, setting a Cal single-season record for receptions by a freshman with 46 catches for 490 yards, surpassing current Philadelphia Eagles player DeSean Jackson's previous record of 38. Both his receptions and receiving yards were second on the team behind Marvin Jones, while he added a team-high five-touchdown grabs. He also led the team with a kick return average of 22.6 yards on a team-high 18 returns, while adding 18 rushes for 136 yards and a touchdown on the ground, and even a 17-yard touchdown pass to fellow wide receiver Jones on his only passing attempt. Allen ranked second on the club behind Shane Vereen with 1,040 all-purpose yards (136 rush, 490 receiving, 8 punt return, 406 kick return) and third on the squad in scoring with 36 points.
