The awards just keep on coming for the Auburn football team.
The SEC announced its 2013 individual awards on Wednesday, which included Gus Malzahn being named SEC Coach of the Year, and Tre Mason being named Offensive Player of the Year.
Alabama's C.J. Mosley and Missouri's Michael Sam were named Co-Defensive Players of the Year, Alabama's Christion Jones was named Special Teams Player of the Year, Ole Miss' Laquon Treadwell was named Freshman of the Year, Georgia's Aaron Murray was named Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Texas A&M's Jake Matthews earned the Jacobs Blocking Trophy.
The 14 SEC head coaches voted for the awards, and were not allowed to vote for their own players.
Malzahn was also awarded Home Depot Coach of the year earlier today, and is a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year and the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year awards.
Mason, who turned in a record-setting most valuable player performance at the SEC Championship Game with 304 rushing yards and four touchdowns, recorded an SEC-leading 124.7 rushing yards per game this season.
Mason has run for 1,621 rushing yards on the year, which ranks among the top-10 all-time on the SEC's single season list with a league-leading 23 total touchdowns this year.
His 23 touchdowns this season are tied for third on the SEC's all-time single season list.
Mason will be one of six Heisman Trophy finalists headed to New York City for the trophy presentation Saturday, Dec. 14.
