A few Gators on here, only 1 on the 1st Team (Duke Dawson). Even Eddie didn't make 1st team......

Jay will be happy though: Scarlett made 4th Team!!

Athlon Sports has released their 2017 SEC All-Conference Teams, and several Florida Gators were selected.


The lone first-team selection was senior cornerback Duke Dawson. Defensive ends CeCe Jefferson and Jabari Zuniga were selected to the second team-defense. Senior safety Marcell Harris made third-team, while sophomore cornerback Chauncey Gardner was on the fourth-team.

On the offensive side of the ball, wide receiver Antonio Callaway and offensive lineman Martez Ivey both received second-team honors. Tight end DeAndre Goolsby and offensive lineman Jawaan Taylor made third-team. Junior running back Jordan Scarlett checks in on the fourth-team.

Florida specialists were well represented as well with kicker Eddy Pineiro and punter Johnny Townsend making the second-team. Callaway also made second-team punt returner.

What is up with the 2 deep RB list. I could see having a FB listed separately if you wanted to but that is crazy imo having 2 RB slots for the team. Curious why they do that now and has it always been done that way. Having 3 WR and 1 RB would be closer to how football is played now.

I guess they had to go with Hurts being the 1st QB, but I don't think he'll end up there. I look for Chauncey to have a big year and move up this list. Hopefully we'll add a few more offensive impact players to this list by years end.

I hope he's learned how to block or he won't be 1st team for UF!

He needs to learn how to find those quick opening holes better also. You need to do more than run people over to be elite.

And who is beating him out? Perine was even worse. Thompson can block but he vomits up the football more than I vomit vegan crap. The freshman certainly won't be able to block.

Lighten up, Francis. It's hard to be All-SEC if you can't learn to block. That's the point. Perine very easily could beat him out....as he was only a true freshman. I'm not sure how long it takes a RB to learn how to block, but it's taken 2+ years for Scarlett.

Worse than Scarlett? Scarlett literally just looked at some rushers without hardly moving on many passing plays.

Gardner seems low. One 1st teamer. We really need some of those diamonds in the rough to shine.

Sigh.
