LSU’s Skylar Mays and Trendon Watford Earn All-SEC Honors

LSU senior guard Skylar Mays was named First Team All-SEC today by the conference coaches, the second consecutive year Mays has earned All-SEC honors.

It comes a day after Mays received College Sports Information Directors Association's highest honor, the CoSIDA Academic All-America of the Year Award.

In addition, Mays is the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the second straight year.

Mays' teammate, freshmen forward Trendon Watford, earned a spot on the SEC Coaches' All-Freshmen Team.

Unlike most conferences, the All-SEC Teams do not break ties, often leading to more than 5 players earning a spot on each tier of the All-SEC honors.
