Alabama and Auburn have announced their student-athlete representatives for the 2025 SEC Media Days, set for July 14-17 at the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park and The College Football Hall of Fame.
Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer selected two seniors — defensive lineman Tim Keenan and linebacker Deontate Lawson — along with junior offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor to represent the Crimson Tide.
Notably, Alabama is among five SEC schools not bringing a quarterback to the event. DeBoer has yet to name a starter among candidates Ty Simpson, Keelon Russell and Austin Mack, though Simpson is considered the frontrunner.
Auburn will send transfer quarterback Jackson Arnold, who brings previous media day experience from his appearance last year with Oklahoma at the event in Dallas. The Tigers also selected defensive lineman Keldric Faulk, a Highland Home graduate who represented Auburn at last year’s media days, marking his second consecutive appearance.
Junior offensive lineman Connor Lew will make his debut at the event for Auburn.
SEC Network will provide comprehensive coverage of the event, which is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. Monday.
