ALBION — Albion College senior defensive back Chris Greenwood and junior running back Clinton Orr were placed on another Division III Pre-Season All-America team Thursday when the D3football.com website released its list.

Greenwood and Orr achieved All-America status from D3football.com at the end of the 2010 season, and both were listed on the Pre-Season All-America list in Lindy’s Sports College Football Preview. Orr also gained recognition from Consensus Draft Services.

Greenwood, a senior from Detroit (Martin Luther King High School) who was a second team All-American in 2010 according to D3football.com, led the Briton secondary with four interceptions in 2010. He has picked off 11 passes the past two seasons, returning three for touchdowns. Greenwood also shined for the Britons on special teams last season, averaging nearly 11 yards per punt return and 20 ½ yards on kickoff returns.

Orr, a junior from Buchanan who was a third team All-American in 2010 according to D3football.com, finished second in Division III in all-purpose yards last season at nearly 200 per game. He also finished ninth in Division III in rushing at nearly 140 yards per game and 11th in scoring with 18 touchdowns. Orr gained more than 100 rushing yards in eight of the 10 contests in 2010, exploding for 233 against Adrian and 212 against Hope. He became the first Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association player to rush for more than 1,000 yards in league play in 2010, rolling up 1,030 in the six league contests.

“The pre-season recognition is exciting to this point, and hopefully we’ll live up to those expectations,” Albion Head Coach Craig Rundle, ’74, said. “They are as talented as any young men I’ve ever been associated with at any level. They are outstanding young men and they are going to be leaders for us on the field.”

Rundle, who has directed the Britons to four MIAA championships in his 14 years as head coach, will lead Albion through a challenging schedule that includes three opponents that advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III Playoffs last season. Albion opens the season Sept. 3 when it squares off against Butler University, a member of the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision, in Indianapolis. Albion’s home opener is a Sept. 24 date against the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
