KENNESAW, Ga. – With the season opener three weeks away, Kennesaw State football quarterback Xavier Shepherd and kicker Nathan Robertson were named to the HERO Sports’ Preseason All-American team, announced Thursday.
 
Shepherd was selected as a preseason first-team all-American by HERO Sports at the all-purpose position. The quarterback put together a record-breaking year in 2021 and set single-season school records for passing yards (1,341) and passing touchdowns (15). He also led the FCS in rushing touchdowns with 23.
 
Robertson earned preseason second-team all-American honors following an incredible season as the Owls’ placekicker. In 2021, the Columbus, Ga. native became 12th player in Big South Conference history to surpass the 200-point mark. He also recorded the longest field goal in KSU history with a 48-yard blast at Robert Morris (Nov. 6).
