Trio of Rebels Selected to Pre-Season All-SEC Teams by Media

Published

on

Three Ole Miss Rebels were selected to preseason All-Southeastern Conference teams in a vote by media members at the 2018 SEC Media Days this week.

Juniors A.J. Brown and Greg Little were both named to the first team offense while senior offensive lineman Javon Patterson made the third-team.
Brown, a preseason first-team All-American and 2017 All-SEC selection, lead the SEC and finished 10th nationally with a program-best 1,252 receiving yards in 2017. Brown also led the SEC in receiving touchdowns (11), receiving yards per game (104.3) and receptions per game (6.3). This offseason, Brown has already been named to watch lists for both the Maxwell Award and Biletnikoff Award. He is rated the No. 1 wide receiver in the country by USA Today and Athlon.
Little, a junior from Allen, Texas, has appeared in every game at left tackle since arriving in Oxford two years ago. Little earned preseason All-America first team honors from the Sporting News and second-team accolades from Lindys, Athlon and Phil Steele.
Patterson leads a veteran group of Ole Miss offensive linemen with 36 games played, including 30 career starts. He was a member of the 2017 SEC Football Student-Athlete Leadership Council and the SEC Community Service team. Throughout the 2017 campaign, both Patterson and Little helped protect the Ole Miss quarterbacks that led the SEC and ranked 11th nationally in passing as a unit (328.4 ypg). 
The media predicted Ole Miss to finish fifth in the west, with Alabama and Georgia matching up in Atlanta for the SEC Championship.
Ole Miss opens the 2018 season versus Texas Tech on Sept. 1, in Houston, at the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff at 11 a.m. on ESPN.
