The Southeastern Conference is bringing a new element to its annual Football Media Days in 2015 as each school will send at least one student-athlete with a compelling story outside of his athletic endeavors. Running back Jonathan Williams will tell his story as the representative for Arkansas. The Conference is calling the initiative “Beyond The Field: Stories of the SEC.”
“The athletic achievements of the SEC continue to be well-documented, but many of our student-athletes lead interesting lives or have intriguing stories that happen away from the field of play,” said Greg Sankey, the new commissioner of the SEC who will preside over his first conference media event July 13-16 at the Hyatt Regency Birmingham-The Wynfrey Hotel in Hoover, Alabama.
