July 20, 2008With three players on the first team All-SEC preseason list, UF has the most of any conference school. Tim Tebow, Percy Harvin and Cornelius Ingram all made it, not that it was surprising. It also wasn't surprising that the defense, considering how they played last season, only had one player on the first team with Brandon Spikes.
