UGA picked first in SEC East, places ten on 2021 Preseason All-SEC Team

The Georgia Bulldogs have been picked to finish first in the SEC East and had ten players named to the 2021 Preseason All-SEC Team, the SEC announced on Friday.

The poll and the Preseason All-SEC team are both selected by members of the media covering SEC football.

Georgia received 124 first-place votes and 923 votes overall for the SEC East. Florida was picked second with Kentucky in third.

The Bulldogs received the second most votes, 45, for the SEC champion, which is a vote conducted separate from the division vote. Alabama was selected to win the SEC Championship with 130 votes.

Two Bulldogs were named Preseason All-SEC First Team by the media — defensive lineman Jordan Davis and punter Jake Camarda. Quarterback JT Daniels, running back Zamir White, and wide receiver George Pickens were each named to the Second Team.

Below is the complete 2021 Preseason Media Days Poll and All-SEC Team:
