AUBURN, Ala.  Receiver Cam Coleman and defensive lineman Keldric Faulk have been voted to the 2025 Preseason Media Days All-SEC First-Team, two of six Tigers earning recognition, the Southeastern Conference announced Friday.

Joining Coleman and Faulk on the All-SEC Team are receiver Eric Singleton Jr., offensive lineman Xavier Chaplin, center Connor Lew and kicker Alex McPherson, all of whom were voted to the Third Team.  

Faulk, a junior from Highland Home, Alabama, earned a starting position as a true freshman in 2023 and continued to develop last season, totaling seven sacks, 11 tackles for loss and 45 tackles as a sophomore.

A three-year starter at defensive end, Faulk has totaled 81 career tackles, eight sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss in his first two seasons. He was the SEC’s defensive lineman of the week for his two-sack performance in Auburn’s win at Kentucky last season.

A sophomore from Phenix City, Alabama, Coleman made 37 receptions for 598 yards and eight touchdowns as a freshman in 2024.

Reporters at SEC Media Days picked Auburn to finish 11th in the16-team league, with the Tigers being one of three programs to receive one vote to be crowned SEC champions, along with Tennessee and Ole Miss.

Media members predicted Texas to win the SEC championship over Georgia. Only 10 times since 1992 has the predicted champion prior to the season at SEC Media Days proceeded to win the SEC Championship Game.
