BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- LSU's Blake Ferguson and South Carolina's Bryson Allen-Williams have been elected Chair and Vice Chair, respectively, of the Southeastern Conference Football Leadership Council.
Ferguson and Allen-Williams were selected by a vote of their peers at a meeting of the Council last weekend at SEC headquarters in Birmingham. The pair will attend a portion of the meeting of the SEC's Athletics Directors in March and the Conference's Spring Meetings in May and June.
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey introduced new Student-Athlete Leadership Councils in 2016 for the sports of football and men's and women's basketball which, in addition to the conference's longstanding Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), provide student-athletes with additional opportunities to engage with campus leaders and conference office staff.
