All-SEC Second Team: Jarrad Davis

Despite missing three games due to injury, Jarrad Davis has secured his place as one of the most dominant forces in the country. He finished third in the voting for the 2016 Butkus Award and is likely to be playing on Sundays next season.

For his invaluable leadership and star-caliber play, Davis was honored with an All-SEC Second Team selection in 2016.

Davis joined Tim Williams of the Alabama Crimson Tide and Jordan Jones of the Kentucky Wildcats as linebackers honored on the All-SEC Second Team. It was a deserved honor for the man whom Teez Tabor called the heart and soul of Florida’s defense.

Based on both production and impact, Davis proved himself to be an NFL-caliber linebacker during the 2016 college football season.

Despite missing three games, Davis was No. 2 on the Gators in total tackles and solo tackles, and third in tackles for loss. He finished the season with 60 tackles, 29 solo, 6.0 for loss, 2.0 sacks, and five hits on the quarterback.

Davis deserves to be a first-round NFL Draft pick and an immortalized Gators defensive player if the Outback Bowl truly will be the end of his Florida career.
