Alabama Football: Tide Places Nine on Al.com's Preseason All-SEC

Alabama football is well-represented with crimson jersey filling many spots in Al.com’s 70th annual All-SEC Preseason list.

ICYMI: Is Will Ignont Still Trending Toward the Tide?

They are the defending College Football Playoff national champions so one would assume an All-SEC Preseason Team would be comprised of quite a few Alabama football players. That person would be correct.

Al.com has released their 70th Annual Preseason All-SEC Teams for offense and defense and there is a lot of crimson on that list.

The Tide came in with four selections on both the first-team offense and first-team defense. They also have one representative on the second-team offense.

Making their way to the first-team offense is Calvin Ridley at wide receiver, O.J. Howard at tight end, Cam Robinson at tackle, and JK Scott as the punter. Linebackers Tim Williams and Reuben Foster landed on the first-team defense along with defensive back Eddie Jackson and defensive lineman Jonathan Allen. Alphonse Taylor was the lone Tide player on the second-team defense.

You can check out the lists below in their entirety.
