Six Rebels made the list for the coaches’ preseason all-Southeastern conference team on Tuesday. These players were voted upon by all 14 head coaches in the Southeastern Conference.
As part of the voting process, each SEC coach was not allowed to vote for his own players, a rule that was implemented 13 years ago.
Four members of the Rebels’ 2013 recruiting class made the list, including tight end Evan Engram, wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil and defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche. The four juniors were all voted on the preseason coaches’ first team.
The other two Rebels to make the list included junior defensive back Tony Conner and senior defensive back Trae Elston.
