Four Florida Gators named to Preseason Coaches All-SEC Team

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The creators of EA Sports College Football 25 and SEC coaches agrees agree on one thing: UF’s best players on offense and defense. Four Florida Gators were named to the 2024 Preseason Coaches All-SEC Team, the conference announced on Thursday.

Senior running back Montrell Johnson Jr., senior cornerback Jason Marshall Jr. and senior punter Jeremy Crawshaw each earned a second-team nod, while junior kicker Trey Smack earned a third team selection as a kickoff specialist.

The same four players were also named to the media’s preseason All-SEC teams back in July, with Johnson being the lone Gator to earn second-team honors. UF sophomore receiver Eugene Wilson III was snubbed on both lists.

Florida’s impact players in the new EA Sports college football video game are Johnson (87 overall) and Marshall (89 overall), who is the team’s highest-rated player.

Georgia placed a league-leading 15 players on the 2024 Preseason Coaches All-SEC Team. Alabama was second with 14 representatives, followed by Texas with 10.
