SEC announces star-studded Football Legends Class of 2024
On Tuesday, the Southeastern Conference announced its 2024 SEC Football Legends class, a group of former college football standouts who will be honored at events surrounding the SEC Football Championship Game in Atlanta in December.
This year’s list of honorees is particularly star-studded since it is the first time the SEC included alumni from its two new schools, Texas and Oklahoma. The SEC honored each school in the conference with one former player on the list.
Here is the complete 2024 SEC Football Legends class.

This year’s class of former standouts includes All-Americans, All-SEC selections, Academic All-Americans, NFL standouts and NFL first-round draft picks. Moreover, the list includes players who were part of teams that won SEC championships and national titles.
Former Oklahoma head coach Barry Switzer was the only coach honored on the list. However, he was more than deserving. While at the helm of the Sooners from 1973-88, Switzer won the national championship three times and hauled in countless coaching awards.
