AUBURN, Ala. -- A day after seven Auburn players were named to All-SEC teams, the conference handed out individual awards - as voted on by the coaches - to Auburn's Kerryon Johnson, Daniel Carlson and Braden Smith.
Johnson was named the SEC offensive player of the year. The junior running back, who was a Doak Walker Award semifinalist, led the conference with 1,320 rushing yards and 19 total touchdowns. His 17 touchdowns during league play were three more than any other SEC player, and his 15 rushing touchdowns in SEC games tied Cam Newton's record at Auburn.
