The student-athletes who comprise the SEC Football Leadership Council are: DeVonta Smith (Alabama), Cameron Ball (Arkansas), Eugene Asante (Auburn), Derek Wingo (Florida), Jalon Walker (Georgia), Eli Cox (Kentucky), Josh Williams (LSU), JJ Pegues (Ole Miss), Hayes Hammond (Mississippi State), Kristian Williams (Missouri), Kai Kroeger (South Carolina), Omari Thomas (Tennessee), Taurean York (Texas A&M) and Bryan Longwell (Vanderbilt).
