Ten Razorbacks Make Coaches’ Pre-Season All-SEC Football Teams

Ten University of Arkansas players made the Coaches’ Pre-Season All-SEC Football Teams.  The Razorbacks are the only SEC Team with three players on the Coaches’ First-Team Offense with Tyler Wilson, Knile Davis, and Cobi Hamilton all receiving nods. As a Special Teams All-Purpose player, Dennis Johnson is the only other Razorback on an SEC All-Conference First Team.

The coaches gave more props to Razorback offensive players as they named TE Chris Gragg and OL Alvin Bailey to the Second Team All-SEC Squad leaving the Hogs with the most players on the first two All-SEC squads on offense of any school in the conference.   C Travis Swanson secured a third-team offensive nod.

On the defensive side of the ball, LB Alonzo Highsmith, Jr. was the only Razorback on the defensive side of the ball in the first two coaches’ All-SEC squads.

K Zach Hocker and P Dylan Breeding made the Coaches’ Third Team All-SEC squads for Special Teams.

If there’s any SEC offense that can break the stranglehold that defenses have over SEC and National Championships, it’s the 2012 Razorbacks.
