2018 Preseason All-SEC: The media's picks and how they ranked as recruits

Another SEC Media Days has come and gone, and the annual tradition of the media’s predicted order of finish and preseason All-SEC team has been revealed. The season is certainly near.

There weren’t many surprises on the preseason All-SEC teams as voted on by the media.

Alabama dominated the first team and led all SEC schools with seven first-team players. Interestingly, Missouri and Georgia tied for the second-most players on the first team with three each. Four other schools totaled two players each, while South Carolina’s Deebo Samuel made the first team at three different positions.

We thought it’d be interesting to see a breakdown on the star ranking, and overall, it was pretty balanced:

• 8 5-stars
• 8 4-stars
• 7 3-stars
• 1 2-star

Here’s how every player on the preseason All-SEC team was rated as a recruit, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings:
