2025 CFN Preseason All-AAC Teams: Offensive Firepower Headlines the Conference

Originally posted on College Football News | Last updated Jul 17, 2025 3:44 AM ET

There will be several good defensive players, and a few AAC teams will do a decent job on that side of the ball, but this year is about the offense.

Tulane lost its stars in the backfield and will keep on humming. The Army and Navy attacks will do what they do. Memphis will keep on rolling, USF got its star quarterback back, and Florida Atlantic hired Zach Kittley as its head coach, so ... look out.

The fireworks are coming, and the 2025 CFN Preseason All-AAC teams have the stars you'll need to know.
