Chris Marve and three other Vanderbilt players make Freshman All-SEC


The coaches have cast their votes and the Freshman All-SEC Team has been announced. Four Vanderbilt Commodores made the team.

Linebacker Chris Marve, a redshirt freshman from Memphis, was one of only four players to be voted unanimously to the team. The others were center Ben Jones and receiver A.J. Green of Georgia and punter Clinton Durst of Auburn. (Alabama's Julio Jones made the team but was not a unanimous selection — are you kidding me?)

Other Commodores on the team were tight end Brandon Barden, a redshirt from Lincolnton, Ga.; offensive lineman Kyle Fischer, a redshirt from Columbia, S.C. (eat your heart out, Coach Spurrier); and T.J. Greenstone, a redshirt from Lawrenceville, Ga.

By the way, the only freshman nominated by Bobby Johnson who didn't make the team was Jamie Graham, who was edged out by future All-Americans Green and Jones.

Can't wait to see next year's class of redshirt freshmen.

Here's a look at how the other schools fared:

• Georgia (6): OL Justin Anderson, OL Cordy Glenn, C Jones, WR Green, DL DeAngelo Tyson, PK Blair Walsh

• Arkansas (5): OL Grant Cook, DL Jake Bequette, DL Zach Stadther, LB Jerry Franklin, return man Dennis Johnson

• Alabama (4): OL John Michael Boswell, WR Jones, RB Mark Ingram, LB Dont'a Hightower

• Florida (4): RB Jeffery Demps, RB Chris Rainey, DB Janoris Jenkins, DB Will Hill

• Auburn (3): LB Spencer Pybus, DB Neiko Thorpe, P Clinton Durst

• Miss State (2): OL Quentin Saulsberry, DB Charles Mitchell

• Kentucky (1): QB Randall Cobb

• Tennessee (1): LB Daryl Vereen

• Ole Miss (none)

• South Carolina (none)

• LSU (none)
