The 2019 All-Sun Belt team is led by 16 selections from Troy, followed by Appalachian State and Louisiana with 15 apiece. Arkansas State isn't far behind the Mountaineers and Ragin' Cajuns, as coach Blake Anderson's team places 13 selections on the all-conference team. Texas State (11), Georgia Southern (11) and ULM (10) also reach the double-digit mark in total picks on the 2019 All-Sun Belt squad.

Athlon Sports has released its top 25 for 2019. Now, it’s time to take a look at the best of the best and honor the top players in the league with a release of first, second, third and fourth all-conference teams for 2019.

An important note on the all-conference teams: These are based on how players will perform in 2019. Career statistics and awards matter in the evaluation, but choosing players for the 2019 all-conference team is largely based on predicting and projecting the best for the upcoming year.
