KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Western Michigan senior wide receiver Corey Davis has been named a 2016 CBS Preseason All-American. Davis is among the best of the best in the country and just one of three non-Power 5 players to be named to the list and the only one from the Mid-American Conference.

In addition to being the leading active receiver in the country, Davis is currently 26th in FBS history and fourth in MAC history. Davis is also just 400 yards away from the all-time record in MAC receiving yards, held by another former WMU standout, Jordan White, who finished his Bronco career with a league-best 4,187 yards.

Davis finished last season fifth in the country and was second in the MAC with 1,436 yards receiving and was 11th in the country for touchdowns with 12. He ended the season with seven straight 100-yard games, including eight catches for 183 yards and an 80-yard touchdown in the Broncos' first bowl win in program history over Middle Tennessee State at the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl.

Earlier this offseason, Davis was named to the Walter Camp Award, Biletnikoff Award and Maxwell Award watch lists. During the offseason, he was also named the top senior wide receiver in the country according to ESPN's Mel Kiper and CBS Sports.
