GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Five Florida Gators were named to the Coaches' 2015 All-SEC First and Second Teams, the league announced on Monday afternoon.

Bullard led the Gator defense in tackles for a loss and sacks during the season. The Shelby, N.C. native used 17.5 tackles for a loss to push opponents back 88 yards throughout the 2015 campaign, while also compiling six and a half sacks. Tabor led the Gators with 14 pass breakups, grabbing four interceptions along the way. Hargreaves matched Tabor with four interceptions and had 152 return yards for UF.
