SEC Football Announces Players Attending Media Days

Published|Updated

The Southeastern Conference Media Days set to start Monday in Atlanta do not appear to be holding anyone back.

National champion quarterback Stetson Bennett of Georgia and Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Bryce Young will be on hand for interviews with hundreds of reporters as well as Alabama outside linebacker Will Anderson, who won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the nation's best defensive player last year. Anderson led the nation in sacks in 2021 with 17.5.

All 14 teams will have three players for interviews throughout the week.

The Media Days begin at 11 a.m. eastern Monday at the College Football Hall of Fame/Omni Atlanta Hotel at the CNN Center and runs through Thursday. OutKick will have SEC columnists Glenn Guilbeau and Trey Wallace there along with Davey Hudson of the OutKick 360 Radio Show.

New LSU coach Brian Kelly, formerly Notre Dame's head coach, kicks things off Monday with LSU wide receiver Jack Bech, linebacker Mike Jones and defensive end B.J. Ojulari. Ole Miss and Missouri will follow LSU.

Alabama, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Vanderbilt will be featured on Tuesday with Arkansas, Florida, Georgia and Kentucky to follow on Wednesday. Auburn, Tennessee and Texas A&M close the Media Days on Thursday.
