In a move that surprises nobody, Derrick Brown was named the 2019 SEC Defensive Player of the Year today when the AP All-SEC Teams were released.
Brown becomes the first Defensive POTY from Auburn since Nick Fairley won the award in 2010, while Tracy Rocker won Player of the Year in 1988 before the awards were split into Offensive and Defensive honors.
In addition to Derrick Brown, Marlon Davidson and K.J. Britt were also named to the first team, while Jeremiah Dinson found his way onto the second team.
