First Team Offense:

  • QB Jayden Daniels (LSU)
  • RB Quinshon Judkins (Ole Miss) (unanimous)
  • RB Raheim Sanders (Arkansas)
  • WR Malik Nabers (LSU) (unanimous)
  • WR Antwane Wells Jr. (South Carolina)
  • TE Brock Bowers (Georgia) (unanimous)
  • OL JC Latham (Alabama) (unanimous)
  • OL Will Campbell (LSU) (unanimous)
  • OL Amarius Mims (Georgia)
  • OL Tate Ratledge (Georgia)
  • C Sedrick Van Pran (Georgia) (unanimous)

Our preseason First Team All-SEC offense is loaded with a group of unanimous choices. In fact, 6 of the 11 positions were unanimous first team-ers among our voters. This group is headlined by three returning First Team All-SEC players from a year ago in Judkins, Wells, and Bowers.

Daniels is our pick at QB after a strong first season in Baton Rogue in which he threw for 2,913 yards and ran for 885 more. Judkins and Sanders (a second team All-SEC player last year) both ran for over 1,400 yards and double-digit TD’s a year ago and both figure to be in the preseason Heisman discussion.

Nabers was Daniels’ #1 option last year as he topped 1,000 receiving yards on the season. Juice Wells had a fantastic season in 2022 in which he had 928 receiving yards. Bowers returns for his third season in Athens as a two-time first team All-SEC selection. Bowers went for 63 catches, 942 receiving yards, 9 rushes, 108 rushing yards, and 10 total TD’s a year ago.

Campbell and Van Pran are the lone returning All-Conference picks along the O-Line from a year ago in the SEC (both were second team selections). Van Pran spurned the NFL to return for his senior season at Georgia while Campbell returns for year #2 at LSU after a strong freshman season a year ago. Latham looks to be the anchor for what appears to be an improved offensive line for Alabama. Mims and Ratledge are the two non-unanimous first team selections along the offense line. Mims is uber-talented, but has yet to be a starter (two career starts). He will get that chance this season, and is expected to breakout. Ratledge has dealt with some injuries throughout his career, but is Georgia’s returning starting right guard and is also expected to take a step forward this season.
