The media has released their predictions following SEC Media Days for all things having to do with the nation’s premier conference, and they’ve given a few Texas A&M football players some flowers. Nic Scourton and Shemar Turner both land on the all-SEC second team, while Trey Zuhn has placed on the all-SEC third team.

There’s no doubt that Scourton and Turner will be forces to be reckoned with on the defensive line. This Aggie DL could be one of the best in the nation, after all—and by the end of this season, it’s not a stretch to think that neither of these two is the most-discussed player in that group. The ceiling for sophomore David Hicks is insanely high, and though he only played in spots last year, the fact that he was able to get any playing time at all as a freshman in what was an extremely deep position group deserves mention.
This is to say nothing of guys like Shemar Stewart, Rylan Kennedy, or even Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy. I think we see some first-teamers from the Aggie DL when all is said and done.
Zuhn is the lone representative from the Aggie offense on this list. That means that players like Conner Weigman, Noah Thomas, Moose Muhammad, Donovan Green, and others all failed to make the list. I again think we see a little more representation from the Aggies on these lists at the end of the season—I get the reticence, given what we’ve seen from A&M’s offense over the last two years, but I think Klein’s offensive system will help open a lot of eyes around the country.
Some other items of note: Georgia absolutely dominated the first-team with six players across the offense and defense—the next-highest was a tie between Ole Miss and Alabama with three each. Of the two newcomers, OU had the most first-teamers—both coming on the defensive side (DB Billy Bowman and LB Danny Stutsman)—while Texas’s Kelvin Banks was the lone Longhorn. Former Aggie Walter Nolen made the first team, as did former A&M pledge Harold Perkins.
