November is here, so let's just get right into it. Another group of great performances from around the SEC.As always, make sure you read through the premise of this column here if you're unfamiliar.
Here's our All-SEC team for week 10, followed up by an updated year-to-date All-SEC team:
Quarterback
Name | Team | Comp. | Att. | Yds. | Comp% | TD | INT | Yds./Att. | Rush | Rush Yds. | Yds./ Rush | Rush TD | Total Yds. | Total TD | |
1st Team | Nick Fitzgerald | Mississippi State | 18 | 31 | 209 | 58.1% | 2 | 2 | 6.7 | 20 | 182 | 9.1 | 2 | 391 | 4 |
2nd Team | Jake Bentley | South Carolina | 22 | 28 | 254 | 78.6% | 2 | 0 | 9.1 | 5 | 16 | 3.2 | 0 | 270 | 2 |
This hasn't been the best year for Mississippi State -- understandable coming off the Dak Prescott era -- but their win against fourth-ranked Texas A&M had to feel good, and Fitzgerald was the biggest reason why.
Running Back
Name | Team | Att. | Yds. | Yds. / Att. | TD | Tgt. | Catch | Rec. Yds. | Rec. TD | Yds./ Catch | Yds./ Tgt. | Total Yds. | Total TD | Yds./ Touch | |
1st Team | Rawleigh Williams | Arkansas | 26 | 148 | 5.7 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 22 | 0 | 11.0 | 11.0 | 170 | 2 | 6.1 |
2nd Team | Kamryn Pettway | Auburn | 25 | 173 | 6.9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 173 | 0 | 6.9 |
Williams and the Hogs were able to consistently maul Florida on the ground on their way to a great win.
Wide Receiver
Name | Team | Tgt. | Catch | Catch% | Yds. | TD | Yds./ Catch | Yds./ Tgt. | Rush Att. | Rush Yds. | Yds./ Att. | Rush TD | Yds./ Scrim. | TD/ Scrim. | Yds./ Touch | |
1st Team | Christian Kirk | Texas A&M | 14 | 7 | 50.0% | 144 | 1 | 20.6 | 10.3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 144 | 1 | 18.0 |
Deebo Samuel | South Carolina | 10 | 9 | 90.0% | 125 | 0 | 13.9 | 12.5 | 2 | 7 | 3.5 | 1 | 132 | 1 | 12.0 | |
2nd Team | Fred Ross | Mississippi State | 9 | 6 | 66.7% | 98 | 2 | 16.3 | 10.9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 98 | 2 | 16.3 |
Drew Morgan | Arkansas | 11 | 7 | 63.6% | 94 | 1 | 13.6 | 8.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 95 | 1 | 13.6 |
Kirk has had somewhat of a disappointing season overall, but that was not the case on Saturday, even though it came in a loss. Samuel, meanwhile, has really come on strong since Jake Bentley took over at QB.
Tight End
Name | Team | Tgt. | Catch | Catch% | Yds. | TD | Yds. / Catch | Yds. / Tgt. | |
First Team | Evan Engram | Ole Miss | 5 | 4 | 80.0% | 75 | 1 | 18.8 | 15.0 |
Second Team | Kendall Blanton | Missouri | 6 | 4 | 66.7% | 42 | 1 | 10.5 | 7.0 |
Another week, another first-team appearance for Evan Engram.
Defensive Line
Name | Team | Tackles | TFL | Sack | PD | INT | FF | TD | Havoc | |
First Team | Fadol Brown | Ole Miss | 8.5 | 1.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1.5 |
Charles Harris | Missouri | 6 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | |
Lewis Neal | LSU | 5.5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
Julian Rochester | Georgia | 6 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | |
Second Team | Frank Herron | LSU | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 |
Dalvin Tomlinson | Alabama | 3.5 | 1.5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1.5 | |
Jeremiah Ledbetter | Arkansas | 2 | 1 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
Daeshon Hall | Texas A&M | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Not a great week for SEC defensive lineman. A few nice games, but nobody that really pops off the page at you.
Linebacker
Name | Team | Tackles | TFL | Sack | PD | INT | FF | TD | Havoc | |
First Team | Jordan Jones | Kentucky | 8.5 | 2.5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 4.5 |
Chris Moody | South Carolina | 10 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
Eric Beisel | Missouri | 12.5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | |
Second Team | Zach Cunningham | Vanderbilt | 7.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Duke Riley | LSU | 6.5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | |
Rommel Mageo | Ole Miss | 8.5 | 1.5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2.5 |
Jordan Jones is having a really, really good year for Kentucky. Beisel is a guy that's come along strong the past couple of weeks as he's filled in for the injured Michael Scherer.
Cornerback
Name | Team | Tackles | TFL | Sack | PD | INT | FF | TD | Havoc | |
First Team | Dwayne Thomas | LSU | 6 | 3 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 |
Duke Dawson | Florida | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3 | |
Second Team | Joshua Holsey | Auburn | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
Minkah Fitzpatrick | Alabama | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
This was as good a week as any single position has had in a while. There were a handful of guys who would've easily made the list in another week.
Safety
Name | Team | Tackles | TFL | Sack | PD | INT | FF | TD | Havoc | |
First Team | Mark McLaurin | Mississippi State | 2.5 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
Santos Ramirez | Arkansas | 4.5 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | |
Second Team | Jamal Adams | LSU | 4.5 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
Donovan Wilson | Texas A&M | 3.5 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
This is the first All-SEC appearance for both players on the first team. A big pair of games from a couple of unsung players.
Kicker
Name | Team | Made FG | Att. FG | Long | Made XP | Att. XP | Total Pts. | |
First Team | Rodrigo Blankenship | Georgia | 4 | 4 | 49 | 1 | 1 | 13 |
Second Team | Daniel Carlson | Ole Miss | 3 | 4 | 53 | 2 | 2 | 11 |
Without Blankenship, we might be looking at Kentucky as the SEC East favorite.
Punter
Name | Team | Punt Att. | Yds. | Yds. / Att. | Long | |
First Team | J.K. Scott | Alabama | 5 | 258 | 51.6 | 66 |
Second Team | Shane Tripucka | Texas A&M | 8 | 364 | 45.5 | 59 |
These guys punt.
