Nine Auburn Tigers were named to All-SEC coaches preseason teams, announced by the conference Wednesday afternoon.
Senior placekicker Daniel Carlson also earned a spot on USA Today’s preseason All-American team, following his recognition on AP’s All-American team on Tuesday. Senior offensive lineman Braden Smith joined Carlson as a first-teamer on AP’s list.
The heavily-heralded duo of Smith and Carlson are Auburn’s only representatives on the conference’s first team list.
The All-SEC second team Tigers include tailback Kamryn Pettway, defensive linemen Marlon Davidson and Dontavius Russell, linebacker Tre’ Williams and the defensive back duo of Tray Matthews and Carlton Davis.
Junior tailback Kerryon Johnson upheld his versatile athlete label with an appearance on the third team as an all-purpose player.
Auburn boasts the third-most players on the list, while Alabama holds the top spot with 15 and Florida comes in at second with 13.
