He was the SEC's leading rusher and finished as the nation's third-leading rusher with 1,499 yards to go with 13 rushing touchdowns.

Left tackle Javon Foster received a third-team selection from the AP and a second-team selection from FWAA for helping pave the way for Schrader's monstrous season.

According to PFF College, he was one of two offensive tackles in the FBS with a pass-blocking grade and run-blocking grade north of 80 (minimum 100 snaps).

Cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine received a pair of second-team selections after recording 47 tackles, four interceptions (t-second in the SEC), 11 pass deflections (t-first in the SEC) and a forced fumble.

Wide receiver Luther Burden III was named an AP second-team selection after racking up 83 receptions, 1,197 yards (10th in the FBS) and eight touchdowns. Burden was the first 1,000-yard receiver for the Tigers since J'Mon Moore did it in 2017.
