Rafael Little was selected first team as a kick returner and third team as a running back. Tight end Jacob Tamme was a second-team choice while linebacker Wesley Woodyard was tabbed for the third team.

Little rushed for 1,045 yards and nine touchdowns last season, caught 46 passes for 449 yards, averaged 16.9 yards per punt return, and also returned a kickoff for a touchdown. He led the SEC in punt returns and all-purpose yardage, ranking fifth in the nation in both categories. Tamme caught 29 passes for 251 yards and one touchdown.
