Curtis, Langsdale and White Lauded by Stats Perform
The preseason honors continue to roll in as Jamar Curtis, Ryder Langsdale and Saiku White were named to the Stats Perform FCS Preseason All-America Team.
 
Curtis, a junior running back, secured a first-team preseason honor after a second-team naming from Stats Perform at the conclusion of the 2023 season. The Waldorf, Md. native, who was named the 2024 Patriot League Preseason Offensive Player of the Year on July 24, is the nation's leading returning rusher (132.7 ypg). In 2023, he carried the ball for 1,460 yards and 15 touchdowns while breaking a 30-year-old Lafayette single-season rushing mark.
 
An integral part of the Leopards' running game, Langsdale anchors the offensive line from his left tackle position and takes a place on the Stats Perform Preseason All-America Third Team. The 2023 All-Patriot League selection was a 2024 preseason All-Patriot League pick. White, who enters his second season as a team captain, joins Langsdale on Stats Perform's Third Team from his spot at safety. The Economics major from Atlanta finished second on the team in tackles (77) and led the Patriot League with four interceptions.
