The SEC is still handing out hardware, and more coaches and players are raking them in.

Coach Nick Saban was named the SEC’s coach of the year. Additionally, he was named the Eddie Robinson regional coach of the year, and is a national coach of the year finalist.

Jalen Hurts, already a first-team All-SEC Selection, was also named the SEC’s Freshman of the year and the SEC’s Offensive Player of the Year. Jalen Hurts is the first true freshman to win the award since Georgia’s Hershel Walker.

Nagurski Award winner and first-team All-SEC selection, Jonathan Allen, was named the SEC’s Defensive Player of the Year.
