LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – UNLV senior offensive lineman Justin Polu was named preseason First Team All-Mountain West Conference by Athlon to lead a group of seven Rebels honored by the preview publication.
 
The Henderson native and product of Silverado High School was Honorable Mention All-Mountain West after a 2018 season that saw the Rebels rank 19th in the nation with 224 rushing yards per game.
 
Junior running back Charles Williams (Fresno, CA/Bullard HS) was named to the second team while junior quarterback Armani Rogers (Los Angeles, CA/Hamilton HS), senior defensive lineman Gabe McCoy (Pittsburg, CA/Pittsburg HS) and senior linebacker Javin White (Oakland, CA/McClymonds HS) were included on the third team.
