18 SEC players make Sports Illustrated’s Preseason All-American Teams

Several SEC players have been mentioned for different Preseason All-American lists for 2016, and Sports Illustrated is the latest media outlet to release them.

Eighteen different Southeastern Conference players made the first and second teams.

The biggest surprise may be on the defensive side of the ball with Jalen Tabor making the second team rather than the first team, but other than that, there were no major surprises.
