The SEC distributed media guides for all 14 teams in Hoover, Ala., as part of SEC Media Days.

In addition to several updated preseason depth charts, those guides often contain interesting tidbits and factoids about some of the SEC’s players.

Kentucky’s media guide was especially revealing, while Alabama, Florida and Georgia listed almost nothing about any of the players’ interests or accomplishments away from athletics.

As we take a collective breath on the final Friday before preseason camps begin in the SEC, let’s delve into those media guides together. I waded through all 14 to come up with 10 fun facts about some of the players in the conference.

1. LAWN CARE FOR PUPPIES

South Carolina QB Perry Orth may be competing for at least a backup role in Columbia, S.C. this fall. But he remains a walk-on player, thus not subject to any of the NCAA rules on earning money through other jobs. He and his siblings own Orth Brothers Lawn Service, launched when the quarterback was 8 years old in order to purchase a dog.

2. WING CONTEST

No one in the world can eat more wings than Matt Stonie. “The Megatoad” recently unseated Joey “Jaws” Chestnut in the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, and then downed him again by consuming 241 chicken wings in 10 minutes. Perhaps Kentucky LB Ryan Flannigan could challenge Stonie, if given the chance to train — Flannigan has eaten 100 wings in 10 minutes.

3. THE OUTBACK

Unless you’re aware of LSU’s Australian punter pipeline, Jamie Keehn would classify as one of the unlikeliest SEC football players ever. Living in Gracemere (in Queensland, Australia), Keehn didn’t play high school football. Instead, he honed his athleticism as a dual-sport rowing and javelin champion. Keehn won 13 state titles in singles, doubles and quad sculls. He also claimed high school national titles in both sports.

4. FLYING PLANES

Tennessee QB Joshua Dobbs has gotten a lot of publicity for majoring in aerospace engineering. But he’s not the only student-athlete looking to the skies within his academic career. Auburn LB Kris Frost, a former five-star recruit, has talked about how much Auburn’s aviation management program influenced his decision. There’s even a video of him learning to fly, in which he flies above Jordan-Hare Stadium. (“How many people get this view of the stadium?”)

5. CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

Several SEC players are descendants of well-known athletes. But Tennessee DB Micah Abernathy and RB Ralph Abernathy IV are from a historic Atlanta-based family. Their grandfater, Ralph David Abernathy Sr., was a leader in the American Civil Rights Movement as a close associate of Martin Luther King Jr. Their father is a former Georgia state senator.

6. THE SUPER FULLBACK

Vanderbilt DL Torey Agee can only hope to be as anonymous as his father. Tommie Agee, a fullback for Auburn and then the Dallas Cowboys, served as a lead blocker for both Bo Jackson and Emmitt Smith, earning two Super Bowl rings in the process.

7. THE BASEBALL STARS

LSU WR Trey Quinn once threw a no-hitter in the opening round of the 2008 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. He helpled Lake Charles (La.) Little League reach the U.S. title game, where he started against Hawaii and gave up one run in 5.0 innings. Kentucky WR Hayden Hurst also is a prolific baseball player who underwent Tommy John surgery — in eighth grade. Drafted in the 17th round by the Pittsburgh Pirates as a right-handed pitcher with a fastball in the low 90s, Hurst played two seasons in the Gulf Coast League.

8. THE GINORMOUS FAMILY

Do you think you have a big family? According to the Wildcats media guide, CB J.D. Harmon has 17 siblings.

9. ON YOUR MARK …

Alabama features a pair of five-star cornerbacks from the 2014 class who are growing into bigger roles this season in Tony Brown and Marlon Humphrey. Each player enjoys enormous upside in football. But both of them could be even better as track-and-field athletes. In high school, Brown won the 110-meter hurdles at the USATF National Junior Olympics (13.88 seconds) and the USATF Junior Nationals (13.69). Humphrey won the 110-meter hurdles (13.67) and 400-meter hurdles (50.75) at the 2013 World Youth Track & Field Championships.

10. FINDING NEMO

Kentucky QB Drew Barker is one of more than one-dozen SEC signal-callers competing for a starting position this fall at their respective schools. But I’m willing to bet none of the others own a pet turtle named Nemo.

Bonus round:

  • Missouri DB Logan Cheadle is the cousin of actor Don Cheadle of “Ocean’s 11,” “Iron Man 2,” “Iron Man 3” and others.
  • Arkansas LS Matt Emrich set the state record for goals scored during his soccer career at El Dorado High School.
  • Kentucky K Austin MacGinnis said he wears No. 99 “because it is the definition of kicker swag.”
  • Missouri P/K Corey Fatony served as a stand-in for actor Michael Ealy for the movie “Unconditional.”
  • SEC Nation featured Mississippi State LB Richie Brown in 2014 due to his resemblance to President Ulysses S. Grant.
  • Vanderbilt TE Sean Dowling earns the label of biggest military family. His dad is a colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps and his mom retired from the Marine Corps as a lieutenant colonel.
  • Auburn WR Stanton Truitt has two siblings, Daivon Deans (a student at MIT) and Myles Jack (an All-American candidate at linebacker for UCLA).
  • A smattering of other SEC players with famous family members: Vanderbilt RB Jaire George (son of Heisman Trophy winner and NFL running back great Eddie George), LSU G K.J. Malone (son of NBA Hall of Fame power forward Karl Malone) and Tennessee LB Dillon Bates (son of long-time Dallas Cowboys safety Bill Bates, winner of three Super Bowls).
  • Vanderbilt QB Shawn Stankavage may have the most athletic heritage. His father played quarterback in the NFL and his mom qualified for the boycotted 1980 Moscow Olympics in the 200-meter backstroke.
