Kamryn Pettway, Carl Lawson and Daniel Carlson lead six Auburn players who were named to All-SEC teams by the league's coaches.

Pettway, Lawson and Carlson were named first-team All-SEC while Braden Smith, Alex Kozan and Montravius Adams were second-team selections.

A third-year sophomore, Pettway has 1,123 rushing yards and seven touchdowns despite missing three games and not having a carry during the season opener.

A quad injury suffered late in the win over Vanderbilt sidelined Pettway against Georgia and Alabama A&M but he returned to action in the Iron Bowl and is expected to play in the Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma.

Lawson has 28 tackles with 12.5 for loss including nine sacks. After battling injuries for the past two years, the fourth-year junior stayed healthy for the full season and was a major presence on Auburn's defensive line.

Carlson, a Lou Groza award finalist for the second straight year, made 26 of 30 field goals this season. He also scored a touchdown on a fake field goal against Arkansas State.

Kozan and Smith, who each had strong displays in 2015, were instrumental in paving the way for the SEC's leading rushing attack.

Adams, a senior, had the best season of his career with 39 tackles including 4.5 sacks. He also had an interception, blocked two kicks and recovered two fumbles , one of which he returned for touchdown.

All but Pettway were preseason All-SEC selections as well.
