Amari Cooper Named AP SEC Offensive Player of the Year
Amari Cooper was named the Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year and led six other Crimson Tide players, the most of any school, on the first team.
Cooper was joined by safety Landon Collins, guard Arie Kouandjio, defensive end Jonathan Allen, linebacker Reggie Ragland, and punter JK Scott on the first team. Quarterback Blake Sims, tackle Austin Shepherd, and cornerback Cyrus Jones were named to the second team. Somehow tackle Cam Robinson and defensive end Jarran Reed were snubbed from the AP’s All-SEC team. The full list of awards is below.
