The list of honorees includes football’s Tua Tagovailoa and DeVonta Smith and basketball’s Collin Sexton and Herbert Jones.
The women’s track and field (13), men’s swimming and diving (12), football (10) and men’s basketball (five) teams had the most honorees in the SEC for their respective sports. Football, gymnastics and rowing all ranked second among their respective sports for 2017-18.
