Lindy's Sports has named North Central College linebacker Matt Wenger as the preseason Division III defensive player of the year. The Sporting News also lists Wenger as a preseason all-American.
Last season Wenger led the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin in tackles (137) and interceptions (8), while also totaling 12.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks.
Kyle Antos, a Wheaton Warrenville South graduate who started at right guard for the Cardinals last season, was all-Division III second team on the Lindy's preseason list.
NCC's 2009 season begins Sept. 5, when the Cardinals travel to Ohio Northern.
