LSU Football Well Represented on FanNation Preseason All-SEC Teams
Fall camp is just around the corner for LSU football and with the return of multiple veteran pieces to a roster that underperformed in 2020, nobody really knows what to expect with this 2021 squad.
The preseason is also a good time to project and over the week, the SEC publishers for the FanNation network compiled a list of preseason All-SEC teams and predictions on where each team would finish. These were the results:
As for the selection process:
• Instead of two running backs, three wide receivers were selected.
• Defensively, there was no set formation used. The core voting featured three linemen, three linebackers and four defensive backs, with the final spot going to the player with the most overall votes. It turned out to be a defensive back on both the first and second teams.
• Ties were not broken.
• Every school in the SEC had players receive votes.
