Chubb named Freshman of Year and 1st team All-SEC running back

ATLANTA -- Imagine if he had started all 12 games.<br /> <br /> Georgia's Nick Chubb was named to the Associated Press All-Southeastern Conference first team and named the Freshman of the Year on Monday after rushing for 1,326 yards and 12 touchdowns.<br /> <br /> The Cedartown native did the bulk of that work in seven games after the freshman was thrust into the starting role after the suspension of junior standout Todd Gurley due to NCAA violations and an injury to fellow freshman back Sony Michel.<br /> <br /> Chubb played as a back-up in the first five fames, rushing for 234 yards. Then Gurley's suspension and Michel's injury helped accelerate his rise to stardom.<br /> <br /> Georgia linebacker Amarlo Herrera was also named first team All-SEC.<br /> <br /> <b>2014 Associated Press All-SEC football team</b><br /> <br /> <i>The 2014 Associated Press All-Southeastern Conference football team released Monday, with player's position, name, school, height, weight and class (u-unanimous selection to first team; t-tied at a position):</i><br /> <br /> <b>FIRST TEAM</b><br /> <br /> Offense<br /> <br /> WR - u-Amari Cooper, Alabama, 6-1, 210, Jr.<br /> <br /> WR - t-Pharoh Cooper, South Carolina, 5-11, 201, So.<br /> <br /> WR - t-Bud Sasser, Missouri, 6-2, 220, Sr.<br /> <br /> L - La'el Collins, LSU, 6-5, 321, Sr.<br /> <br /> L - Ben Beckwith, Mississippi State, 6-3, 306, Sr.<br /> <br /> L - Arie Kouandjio, Alabama, 6-5, 315, Sr.<br /> <br /> L - Laremy Tunsil, Mississippi, 6-5, 305, So.<br /> <br /> C - Reese Dismukes, Auburn, 6-3, 295, Sr.<br /> <br /> TE - Evan Engram, Mississippi, 6-3, 227, So.<br /> <br /> QB - Dak Prescott, Mississippi State, 6-2, 230, Jr.<br /> <br /> RB - Cameron Artis-Payne, Auburn, 5-11, 210, Sr.<br /> <br /> RB - Nick Chubb, Georgia, 5-10, 228, Fr.<br /> <br /> PK - Austin MacGinnis, Kentucky, 5-10, 168, Fr.<br /> <br /> All-Purpose - Marcus Murphy, Missouri, 5-9, 190, Sr.<br /> <br /> Defense<br /> <br /> E - Shane Ray, Missouri, 6-3, 245, Jr.<br /> <br /> E - Bud Dupree, Kentucky, 6-4, 264, Sr.<br /> <br /> T - Robert Nkemdiche, Mississippi, 6-4, 280, So.<br /> <br /> T - Johnathan Allen, Alabama, 6-3, 272, Sr.<br /> <br /> LB - Martrell Spaight, Arkansas, 6-2, 231, Sr.<br /> <br /> LB - Reggie Ragland, Alabama, 6-2, 254, Jr.<br /> <br /> LB - Amarlo Herrera, Georgia, 6-2, 231, Sr.<br /> <br /> CB - u-Senquez Golson, Mississippi, 5-9, 176, Sr.<br /> <br /> CB - Vernon Hargreaves III, Florida, 5-11, 195, So.<br /> <br /> S - u-Landon Collins, Alabama, 6-0, 222, Jr.<br /> <br /> S - Cody Prewitt, Mississippi, 6-2, 217, Sr.<br /> <br /> P - JK Scott, Alabama, 6-4, 185, Fr.<br /> <br /> <b>SECOND TEAM</b><br /> <br /> Offense<br /> <br /> WR - Josh Reynolds, Texas A&M, 6-4, 190, So.<br /> <br /> WR - Sammie Coates, Auburn, 6-2, 201, Jr.<br /> <br /> L - Greg Pyke, Georgia, 6-6, 321, So.<br /> <br /> L - A.J.
