Will Anderson Jr., a linebacker, earned a spot on the first team.
As a two-time Bronko Nagurski Award winner and Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year, Anderson picked up first-team honors from WCFF and FWAA. He is one selector away from Consensus All-American status and three from Unanimous All-American status. The native Georgian finished his sophomore season as a Unanimous First-Team All-American in 2021. He swept the College Football Awards for defensive players, winning Nagurski, Chuck Bednarik, and Rotary Lombardi awards. Anderson is also a finalist for the Lott IMPACT Trophy. Kool-Aid McKinstry, a cornerback, made second-team for punt returner. He totaled 317 punt return yards on 20 returns during the season. McKinstry averaged 15.8 yards per punt return.
