OXFORD, Ohio - Two Miami University senior football players, linebacker Clayton Mullins (Fairborn, OH) and offensive guard Dave DiFranco (LaGrange, OH), have earned first-team All-Mid-American Conference mention by Phil Steele's 2008 College Football Preview Magazine.

Mullins, the league's 2007 Defensive Player of the Year, paced the MAC in tackles a year ago. At 6-4 and 305 pounds, DiFranco is expected to be one of the conference's premier offensive linemen this coming season.

Senior placekicker Nathan Parseghian (Sylvania, OH) earned honorable mention.
