Two Auburn defensive players were named to the Associated Press All-SEC first team and two offensive players were named to the second team, according to a press release from the AP on Monday.

Safety Jaylin Simpson and defensive lineman Marcus Harris both received first-team nods. Simpson started off the season strong with four interceptions in Auburn’s first five games. His high rate cooled off as the season went on, finishing the year with just those four interceptions. But that still set him with the third most in the SEC.

From an interior spot on the defensive line, Harris led Auburn with seven sacks this season — three off the SEC lead. Harris also led Auburn with 11 tackles for loss.

Tight end Rivaldo Fairweather and offensive line utility man Gunner Britton were each named to the second team. Both transferred to Auburn for this season.

Fairweather came from FIU, and got better as the year went on to lead Auburn with 349 receiving yards. It’s the second-highest mark among tight ends in the SEC after Georiga’s Brock Bowers. His six touchdowns were tied with Bowers for most in the league among tight ends.

Britton played multiple spots along the offensive line this season after doing the same at Western Kentucky, his previous school. Britton was named the SEC offensive lineman of the week twice during this season.
