Alabama placed 16 players and Auburn six on the preseason All-SEC team announced Friday following the conclusion of Media Days in Nashville.

The Crimson Tide put six players on the first team: offensive lineman JC Latham, linebacker Dallas Turner, defensive back Kool-Aid McKinstry (who also made the team as a return specialist), kicker Will Reichard and long snapper Kneeland Hibbert. Second-teamers for Alabama were running back Jase McClellan, wide receiver JaCorey Brooks, offensive lineman Tyler Booker, center Seth McLaughlin, defensive linemen Jaheim Oatis and Justin Eboigbe and defensive back Malachi Moore; with wide receiver Jermaine Burton, defensive lineman Tim Smith and linebacker Chris Braswell on the third team.

The Tigers put one player on the first team: kickoff returner Brian Battle. Auburn had no second-teamers, running back Jarquez Hunter, defensive backs D.J. James and Nehemiah Pritchett, punter Oscar Chapman and kicker Alex McPherson on the third team.

Georgia had the most first-teamers (12) and overall players selected (17) in voting conducted by the media in Nashville this week and tabulated by the conference office. The Bulldogs are also the media’s pick to win the SEC championship in 2023.
