Jeremiah Moon in Birmingham for SEC Football Leadership Council
Friday, February 2, 2018 | Football
The Southeastern Conference Football Leadership Council has one representative from each school.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Redshirt freshman linebacker Jeremiah Moon is Florida's representative in meetings with the Southeastern Conference's Football Leadership Council convening in Birmingham, Ala. over the next two days.
Moon was selected via the Student-Athlete Enhancement Program, which falls within the Hawkins Center.
The Football Leadership Council is one of three components of the SEC Student-Athlete Leadership Council. The other two consist of representatives on the Men's and Women's Basketball Leadership Councils. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey introduced new Student-Athlete Leadership Councils in 2016 for the sports of football and men's and women's basketball which, in addition to the conference's longstanding Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), provide student-athletes with additional opportunities to engage with campus leaders and conference office staff. The councils serve as a conduit of communication to the conference office on issues related to student-athlete experience and student-athlete wellness.
Among the agenda items for the group this weekend is a review of NCAA and SEC legislative items, open discussion on topics submitted by members of the Council, and engagement with football officials on rules of the game and student-athlete/referee interaction. Marcus Spears, SEC Network analyst and former SEC football student-athlete, will also meet with the group to discuss leadership and career development.
Recent legislation passed by representatives from Autonomy Conferences that increased the allowance provided to student-athletes who serve as hosts for visiting recruits was initially proposed by the SEC Football Student-Athlete Leadership Council last year.
In addition to Moon, Josh Casher (Alabama), T.J. Smith (Arkansas), Derrick Brown (Auburn), Charlie Woerner (Georgia), Jordan Griffin (Kentucky), Blake Ferguson (LSU), Javon Patterson (Ole Miss), Gerri Green (Mississippi State), Damarea Crockett (Missouri), Bryson Allen-Williams (South Carolina), Micah Abernathy (Tennessee), Braden Mann (Texas A&M), Khari Blasingame (Vanderbilt), and Brandon Lee (Missouri - Autonomy Representative) will be in attendance in Birmingham this weekend.
