Coaches preseason All-SEC team
July, 20, 2010
By Chris Low
The coaches’ preseason All-SEC team has been released, and defending national champion Alabama leads the way with six players on the first team.
Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram was a first-team selection at running back along with Julio Jones at receiver, guard Barrett Jones on the offensive line, end Marcell Dareus on the defensive line, Dont’a Hightower at linebacker and safety Mark Barron in the secondary.
The Crimson Tide also had three second-team selections – quarterback Greg McElroy, running back Trent Richardson and offensive tackle James Carpenter.
Counting both the first and second teams, Florida had the most selections with 10, including three first-team players.
There are five first-team selections that were also on last year’s first-team coaches' All-SEC postseason team. Those include: center Mike Pouncey (Florida), receiver A.J. Green (Georgia), running back Mark Ingram (Alabama), defensive back Mark Barron (Alabama) and punter Drew Butler (Georgia).
Right off the bat, I can see two glaring omissions. Georgia outside linebacker Justin Houston and Ole Miss defensive end Kentrell Lockett didn’t make either the first or second team. Between them, they had 25 tackles for loss, including 12.5 sacks, last season.
Here’s a look at the entire first and second teams (ties were not broken, which is why some positions have more players):
