By: Matt Callaway, Texas A&M Athletics Communications

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Texas A&M football placed a program-best nine student-athletes on the 201 Preseason Coaches’ All-Southeastern Conference Football Team, announced Tuesday by the league office.

The junior trio of Isaiah Spiller, Jalen Wydermyer and Kenyon Green represented the Maroon & White on the first team while DeMarvin Leal and Ainias Smith were among the second-team selections. Jayden Peevy, Leon O’Neal Jr. and Smith rounded out the All-SEC Aggies on the third team. Smith was named to the second team as a return specialist and earned third team status at wide receiver and all-purpose back.

A&M’s previous record of All-SEC honorees was eight, set last season. This marks the 19th consecutive year of the SEC Coaches Preseason All-SEC Team.

The Aggies will open the 2021 season on Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. on ESPNU against Kent State.
