FAYETTEVILLE - Arkansas junior receiver Treylon Burks of Warren, and senior cornerback Montaric “Busta” Brown of Ashdown were named first-team All-SEC, and Arkansas senior linebacker Bumper Pool of Lucas, Texas named second-team All-SEC on the SEC Football Coaches All-SEC teams released Tuesday by the SEC Office in Birmingham, Ala..

Burks helped lead Coach Sam Pittman’s  8-4, 4-4 in the SEC Razorbacks into qualifying for the Jan. 1 Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla. against the Penn State Nittany Lions by catching a team leading 66 passes for 1,104 yards and 11 touchdowns plus rushing 14 times on reverses and direct snaps for 112 yards.

Brown led Arkansas in interceptions, five, broke up 10 passes, forced a fumble and made 53 tackles.

Pool led Arkansas’ defense with 120 tackles and broke up seven passes.

Though listed as 2021 seniors, Brown  and Pool ponder options of returning to Arkansas in 2022. All who played in 2020, with Brown and Pool listed then as juniors, kept their 2020 eligibility status in 2021 because the Covid pandemic so disrupted the 2020 season.
