AUBURN, Ala. -- Kerryon Johnson, Braden Smith, Carlton Davis and Daniel Carlson were all represented on the Associated Press All-America teams that came out Monday.
Smith, a first-team selection at guard, started all 13 games for Auburn this season. The senior was one of the team's captains and has started 40 consecutive games dating back to 2014. He earned a season-long grade of 88.7 from Pro Football Focus.
Johnson, Davis and Carlson were all named to the second-team.
Last week, Johnson was chosen as SEC offensive player of the year by both the AP and the SEC coaches. The junior running back led the conference with 1,320 rushing yards and 19 total touchdowns despite missing two games early in the season. He is the ninth different Auburn player to rush for 1,000 yards in a season since 2009.
Davis finished with a team-best 12 passes defended and one interception while Carlson, a finalist for the Lou Groza Award, became the SEC's all-time leading scorer. His 117 points and 21 field goals made this season were both tops among all conference players.
