ESPN is the latest media outlet to release its Preseason All-America Team.
Five SEC West players made the first team: LSU RB Derrius Guice, Alabama WR Calvin Ridley, LSU LB Arden Key, Alabama SS Minkah Fitzpatrick and Auburn K Daniel Carlson.
The one player who sticks out that didn’t make the cut is Texas A&M WR Christian Kirk. He’s certainly worthy as an all-purpose player. Instead, the outlet chose Pitt’s Quadree Henderson.
