Tennessee offensive lineman Arron Sears was one of two unanimous picks on the Associated Press All-SEC first team announced Monday.

He was one of five Vols on the first team.

Sears, the lone returning starter at his position on the line, made the decision to stay for his senior season and had an outstanding season despite dealing with numerous injuries.

Arkansas running back Darren McFadden was the other unanimous pick.

Other UT players on the first team are receiver Robert Meachem, place kicker James Wilhoit, punter Britton Colquitt and defensive tackle Turk McBride.

Defensive backs Jonathan Hefney and Jonathan Wade made second team.
