EASTON, Pa. – The preseason honors continue to roll in as Jamar Curtis, Ryder Langsdale and Saiku White have been added to the Stats Perform FCS Preseason All-America Team that was announced Monday morning. 

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 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. A starter in every game the last two seasons, the International Affairs major garnered All-America Third-Team honors from FCS Football Central in 2023 and was tabbed for its 2024 Preseason FCS All-America second team.

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. White was named to the Preseason All-Patriot League Team after a 2023 campaign when he was an All-Patriot League First-Team honoree and claimed AP All-America laurels. 

Lafayette is coming off a Patriot League title in 2023 when the Leopards advanced to the NCAA FCS Playoffs and were ranked as high as No. 16 in the national polls. The Maroon and White, who welcome back eight starters on each side of the ball, open the season at Buffalo on Aug. 29.
