Auburn, Ala. - Auburn junior centerfielder Jonah Todd was named to the All-SEC second team and SEC All-Defensive team the conference office announced Monday. The All-SEC awards were voted on by the conference's 14 head coaches.

"He's been our catalyst all season, providing an impact with his speed, defense, arm and most importantly his bat. It is a great accomplishment for a great player. I'm glad Jonah chose to attend Auburn."
