Cunningham, Webb earn Associated Press All-SEC honors
Commodore standouts Zach Cunningham and Ralph Webb added to their postseason accolades, earning All-Southeastern Conference honors from the Associated Press.
Cunningham, who was selected to the prestigious Walter Camp First Team All-America squad and several other All-America teams on Thursday, was named to the AP’s first team all-conference defense. Webb was listed on the AP’s second team offense.
For Cunningham, it marks the second straight year that he has achieved unanimous First Team All-SEC recognition, earning the honors from league head coaches and a panel of AP media members.
It represents the first year that Webb, who set the Vanderbilt record for career rushing yards during a stellar regular season, has been recognized by the Associated Press. Earlier in the week, Webb also was selected as a second team All-SEC performer by head coaches.
