Fall camp has arrived, which means talking season is officially winding down and the college football season is nearly upon us.

Still, preseason predictions and award watch lists are all the rage this time of year, with many SEC players candidates to bring home individual honors this season.

Two SEC players — Georgia QB Jake Fromm and Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa — are bona fide candidates to win the Heisman Trophy. But in a talent rich league that has produced more NFL prospects than any other league in America over the past 3 decades, plenty of other players are expected to press for All-American and other individual awards come December.

Here’s a list of the SEC players most likely to capture individual postseason awards this season.

Davey O’Brien Award (Best QB)

Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama

Tua edges Fromm here largely because the Alabama junior has a better cast of weapons at wide receiver with the likes of Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs and Jaylen Waddle, among others, to work with.

Tagovailoa came off the bench to win a national championship as a freshman, but he’d be the first to tell you that national championship is one he fully shares with departed Alabama star Jalen Hurts, who was that team’s starter.

The bet here is Tagovailoa closes his career on the Capstone with a championship season that he can fully call his own.

Doak Walker Award (Best RB)

D’Andre Swift, Georgia

It’s tempting to pick Vanderbilt’s Ke’Shawn Vaughn, who might end up being the best pro. But Vanderbilt won’t be good enough for Vaughn to factor much into awards races, which so often favor players from nationally elite programs. Georgia will be plenty good enough.

What’s more, with the departure of 5 of Georgia’s best pass catchers from 2018, Swift isn’t just Georgia’s top returnee in the run game; he’s the best pass catcher on the team too. Forced to carry a huge load offensively, Swift should put up monster numbers — and plenty of highlight reel plays — that make him a Doak Walker candidate.

Outland Trophy (Best Interior Lineman)

Derrick Brown, Auburn

Plenty of big-time SEC names graced the 2019 Outland Trophy watch list, but Brown, who figures to one of the top 5 players selected in next season’s NFL Draft, is the no-brainer choice here.

Brown is big and strong, deceptively fast, and should build on the 10.5 tackles for loss season he had a year ago. He returned to school to be more consistent — and if he accomplishes that goal — he’ll win the Outland Trophy.

Fred Biletnikoff Award (Best receiver)

Jerry Jeudy, Alabama

Michael Crabtree (Texas Tech) and Justin Blackmon (Oklahoma State) are the only 2 players to win the Biletnikoff Award twice, but I think Jerry Jeudy will join them in 2019.

Put plainly, Jeudy is a problem. He’s fast, incredibly athletic, and a polished route runner — the most complete college wide receiver since Dez Bryant.

I don’t know if he’ll build on the 68-catch, 1,315-yard campaign he had in 2018, but he’s added muscle in the offseason and with a sturdier frame, he’ll have the physicality to eliminate the one way you could slow him down a little bit — tight and physical coverage at the line of scrimmage.

John Mackey Award (Best tight end)

Albert Okwuegbunam, Missouri

The key for Okwuegbunam will be staying healthy. A broken scapula suffered against Florida cut short his 2018 season, but prior to the injury, he was a nightmare for defenses, will deceptive straight-line speed that made him too much for linebackers and size that made him a problem for most SEC safeties.

I don’t know if he’s the same type of mismatch last year’s winner and Rob Gronkowski clone T.J. Hockenson of Iowa was, but with Kelly Bryant at quarterback and a strong running game led by Larry Rountree III supporting him, Okwuegbunam seems a strong Mackey Award winning candidate.

Butkus Award (Best linebacker)

T.J. Brunson, South Carolina

Dylan Moses would be a good choice here, but he’ll struggle to win just because the Tide have so many impact players returning in their front seven.

That opens the door for Brunson, the heart and soul of Will Muschamp’s defense.

Muschamp said at SEC Media Days that the senior, who was Muschamp’s first recruit in Columbia, was “one of the best football players I’ve ever been associated with.”

You’d be hard-pressed to find a linebacker more productive.

Last season, his 106 tackles were a team-high and this season, with DJ Wonnum back to help him, he could build on the 10.5 tackles for loss and 6 sacks that have him on NFL radars this summer.

Chuck Bednarik Award (Best defensive player)

CJ Henderson, Florida

The SEC has won the past three Bednarik Awards, with Kentucky’s Josh Allen winning a year ago. The league will have a great chance of producing this season’s winner as well, as it placed 17 players on the preseason watch list, easily the most of any conference in the country.

Of those, Henderson is best positioned to win, edging out fellow All-SEC defensive back Grant Delpit of LSU.

It isn’t just that Henderson is the best cover guy in America (43% completion percentage against,0 TD against in 2018) per Pro Football Focus, though that helps his case.

He’s also Florida’s most important boundary blitzer and effort guy, a player Todd Grantham can use on an island against his opponent’s best receiver or in an exotic blitz package, where his elite speed (4.4) and strength (545 squat) make him a threat to pressure the QB or provide a big stick against the run.

Florida has never won a Bednarik Award. Henderson might be the first to do it.
