GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Four Gators have been named to the preseason All-SEC teams selected via a poll of the members of the media covering SEC Media Days this week in Dallas. Montrell Johnson Jr. was selected to the second team, while Jason Marshall Jr., Trey Smack, and Jeremy Crawshaw were named to the third team.
Montrell Johnson Jr. | Running Back | Sr. | New Orleans, La.
Johnson Jr. enters his senior season after starting 11 games in 2023 and leading the Gators in rushing each of the last two seasons. His 817 rushing yards was good for 10th in the conference last season, and the Louisiana native is one of just two players in last season’s top-10 that will be returning to the conference next season. Johnson was second among SEC running backs in receiving yards in the 2023 season. He has recorded six 100-yard rushing games as a Gator and enters this season with 2,496 career rushing yards, with three consecutive seasons of 800 yards or more.
Jason Marshall Jr. | Corner Back | Sr. | Miami, Fla.
Marshall Jr. enters his senior season at Florida after 28-straight starts at CB for Florida over the last three seasons. He led the team with 10 pass breakups in his junior season, the most of any player returning to the Southeastern Conference next season. He was also named to other preseason all-conference lists, including the Athlon Sports second-team defense and Phil Steele second-team defense.
Trey Smack | Kicker | Jr. | Severna Park, Md.
A Lou Groza Award Semifinalist in 2023, Smack is entering his junior season as the Gators primary kicker after a 2023 campaign that saw him make 17-21 field goal attempts while being a perfect 29-29 on extra points. He earned SEC Special Teams player of the Week nods for his performance week four against Charlotte and week seven against South Carolina. Smack was also named to Athlon Sports and Phil Steele’s ALL-SEC Preseason Teams.
Jeremy Crawshaw | Punter | Sr. | Emu Plains, New South Wales, Australia
Crawshaw returns for his fifth season with Florida and third as the Gators starting punter. The 2023 campaign saw Crashaw set career and single season program records in average yards per punt (46.7) and yards per attempt (48.9). The Australia native was named to the AP All-SEC Second Team in 2023. Crashaw also earned preseason honors from Athlon Sports and Phil Steele.
