By now, we’ve all seen the pre-season All-SEC teams that were voted on by the coaches and released by the SEC yesterday, in advance of SEC media days.

If you haven’t seen the lists, go here.

The Cats landed 5 players on either the second or third team. No Cat made the first team. Which is a BIG snub.

Even ESPN’s Chris Low agrees: Trevard Lindley deserves to be a first-teamer in the SEC. Instead, a three-way tie for two of the four DB positions on the first team pushes Lindley to the second-team.

Sure, there are other good corners in the league.. but as good as Lindley as been as a freshman and sophomore? I’m not so sure. Lindley has key interceptions in multiple games the last few years. He is closing in on breaking UK’s career pass break up record. And he was a big help in run support last year.

But the snub is nothing new. Lindley has been under the radar the past two years and he’s starting under the radar last year. But go back and watch some tapes, coaches stayed away from Lindley. No.1 receivers would suddenly turn into slot guys when playing UK. He’s UK’s best kept secret.

DE Jeremy Jarmon, is a good pick as a second-teamer. So is OT Garry Williams for the second-team offense.

And linebackers Braxton Kelley and Micah Johnson as third team LB’s. Well, that’s just interesting that they are paired together. With both of them on the field, I see a lot of pair activities. Those two are going to wreck havoc on offenses this year, together, and it’s only fitting that how they land on the third team All-SEC defense.

The five players were good enough for seventh in the 12 team SEC. Finally, the summer snubs against the Cats lift…if only for a little bit.
