Along with picking Alabama to win the SEC West and SEC Championship this season, media members in attendance of SEC Media Days in Hoover, Ala., this week also voted a record number of Crimson Tide players as first-team All-SEC selections.

Alabama had the most first-team All-SEC selections with 10, which is a new record for the SEC Media Days All-SEC Team, the league announced Friday. Overall, 16 Tide players appeared on either the first, second or third teams for the preseason.

Since 1992, the most players on a first-team prior to this year’s vote was nine by Alabama in 2011 and eight by Alabama (2010) and Florida (2009).

The 10 first-team All-SEC selections included quarterback Jalen Hurts, wide receiver Calvin Ridley, offensive linemen Jonah Williams and Ross Pierschbacher, defensive linemen Da'Ron Payne and Da'Shawn Hand, linebacker Rashaan Evans, defensive backs Minkah Fitzpatrick and Ronnie Harrison and punter JK Scott.

Running back Bo Scarbrough, center Bradley Bozeman and linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton appeared on the All-SEC second team, while offensive lineman Lester Cotton and defensive backs Anthony Averett and Tony Brown were named to the All-SEC third team.

The top vote-getters in 2017 were Minkah Fitzpatrick (Alabama), Calvin Ridley (Alabama) and Derrius Guice (LSU). Since 2000, Arkansas’ Darren McFadden is the only unanimous selection to the SEC Media Days first team at his position, collecting all possible votes that year.
