Twelve Southeastern Conference schools placed a member on the 2021 All-SEC Coaches' Football First Team, as the first and second teams were announced Tuesday. Alabama led the way with six representatives, while Georgia had five.

Eleven SEC schools had at least two all-conference selections and 10 had three or more. Florida and Vanderbilt were the only schools without either first- or second-team representatives.

Tennessee had three representatives, with sixth-year senior receiver Velus Jones Jr. being named first-team all-purpose back and return specialist. Senior right tackle Cade Mays and fifth-year senior safety Theo Jackson were tabbed as second-team selections.

This season's list includes nine student-athletes who have now made multiple appearances on the All-SEC Team in their respective careers: Treylon Burks (Arkansas), Jake Camarda (Georgia), Jordan Davis (Georgia), Jerrion Ealy (Ole Miss), Darian Kinnard (Kentucky), Bumper Pool (Arkansas), Isaiah Spiller (Texas A&M), Jalen Wydermeyer (Texas A&M) and Cade York (LSU).

The SEC individual award winners will be released Wednesday and the All-Freshman Team will be announced Thursday.
