The following are HawgSports publisher Trey Biddy's selections at SEC Media Days. The final tally from all media members will be released later this week.
I went with six Arkansas players. I felt like Austin Allen and Frank Ragnow have really good chances to end up on the list, though I am relatively sure Alabama's Jalen Hurts will make the official list above my picks for Nick Fitzgerald and Allen.
It isn't an exceptional tight ends list, so even though he may not put up huge numbers I went with Austin Cantrell at tight end. While it won't surprise me to see Ryan Pulley not on the final list, I do think when the season is over he will be All-SEC. The same holds true for McTelvin Agim.
Finally, I made a projection on Randy Ramsey who I think has a chance to really excel in his new role at outside linebacker.
