"It was terrific to see Chris and Robin named to SEC all-conference selections," UT head coach Jim Kelson said. "Chris has played exceptionally well this year and deserved to be named to the first team, and Robin is beginning to perform at a consistently high level.

"Finally, we were very excited to see Darren named to the Freshman All-SEC team. He has worked extremely hard and been a very coachable young man. He certainly was deserving of being named to this team."
