Eight Florida Gators named preseason All-SEC

Eight Florida Gators were named to preseason All-SEC teams, as voted on by the media at SEC Media Days, on Friday afternoon led by First Team selection Jalen Tabor.

Punter Johnny Townsend, linebacker Jarrad Davis, defensive lineman Bryan Cox Jr. and offensive linemen David Sharpe and Martez Ivey were Second Tem selections.

Sophomore defensive lineman CeCe Jefferson and senior safety Marcus Maye were selected to the Third Team.

Tabor, a preseason All-American, had 18 pass breakups as a sophomore in 2015, tied for best in the conference. His four interceptions were tied for fourth best in the country and he became the first Florida Gators since Brandon Spikes in 2009 to return to interceptions for a touchdown in the same season.
