Hard year to make all SBC team when 12 of 14 teams go bowling. But Neal got snubbed for sure.

Definitely a top TE in conference. Between a slow start (some early season drops), and 3 different QBs he didn’t get into a good rhythm until late in season. What matters most is he should get a chance to play at the next level.

Neal Johnson on third team is pure comedy. The SBC remains a joke when it comes to awards and recognition.

Agreed. It always has been a joke.

I’ll be a little critical here, Neal is our best NFL prospect, but his effort in blocking sucked. Blocking is all about effort and commitment to wanting to dominate your opponent. He’s soft when it comes to that.

But, he is a nightmare to cover and was underutilized. Then wasn’t used in a manner that caters to his strengths. The kid can stick on an NFL roster IMHO.

That's it.

Is it just me, or is it kind of pathetic to celebrate someone making third team in the conference? That's practically a participation award.

He wasn't celebrating.

Stepping back, fifth in the SBCW doesn’t command a lot of attention.
