LAS VEGAS - Fresno State senior cornerback Al'zillion Hamilton earned his first career preseason All-Mountain West recognition on Wednesday as the conference office announced its preseason team ahead of the 2025 Old Trapper Mountain West Football Media Days.
Hamilton, who is representing the Bulldogs in Vegas this week, was Fresno State's only preseason pick for 2025.

Last season, he finished the year with 52 tackles, 4.5 TFL, 1.0 sack, two forced fumbles, two interceptions, 13 pass breakups and one quarterback hurry.
Hamilton is the only returning All-Mountain West selection from a season ago, earning honorable mention honors as a junior.
