ATLANTA — Four Georgia State football players earned recognition on the 2026 Pro Football Network Preseason All-Sun Belt College Football Team, highlighted by first-team selection Deandre Duffus.
Duffus was joined by second-team honoree Savion Hart and third-team selections Cameran Brown and Tre Mittman.
Duffus headlines the Panthers' selections after appearing in 10 games along the offensive line during the 2025 season. He helped anchor a Georgia State offense that accumulated 4,514 total yards while providing protection for a passing attack that averaged 254.1 yards per game.
The veteran offensive lineman enters 2026 as a key piece up front for the Panthers.
Hart earned second-team recognition entering his first season with Georgia State after a productive 2025 campaign at Georgetown.
The running back appeared in 12 games and carried the ball 176 times for 818 yards and 10 touchdowns, averaging 4.6 yards per carry. Hart also proved to be a threat in the passing game, hauling in 14 receptions for 223 yards and two touchdowns, including a 73-yard reception.
He finished the season with 1,041 yards from scrimmage and 12 total touchdowns.
Brown enters his second season with the Panthers after leading Georgia State's passing attack in 2025. The quarterback completed 120 passes for 1,296 yards and 13 touchdowns while throwing just one interception. He also made an impact on the ground, leading the Panthers with four rushing touchdowns and ranking third on the team with 260 rushing yards.
Brown produced one of his best performances of the season at Georgia Southern on Oct. 18, setting career highs with 29 completions, 280 passing yards and 120 rushing yards. Five days later against South Alabama, he threw a season-long 70-yard pass and a career-high four touchdown passes.
After just one season with the Panthers, Brown has already worked his way into the Georgia State record book, ranking No. 10 in career passing yards and single-season touchdown responsibility and No. 8 in career touchdown passes.
Mittman rounds out Georgia State's four selections after joining the Panthers following two seasons at North Carolina A&T.
The linebacker appeared in all 12 games for the Aggies in 2025 and finished second on the team with 75 tackles, including 39 solo stops. He recorded a season-high 11 tackles, including five solo tackles, against Monmouth on Nov. 15.
