Three Kentucky Wildcats football stars have been named to the Media Preseason All-SEC team. One player was cornerback Trevard Lindley. Lindley was a second-team All-American last season and a consensus first-team All-SEC choice. He had four interceptions and 11 pass breakups, leading the SEC in pass breakups per game. He holds the UK career record for pass breakups with 34. Lindley also was a first-team preseason All-SEC pick by the league coaches.
One of the other two was Linebacker Micah Johnson. Johnson was a first-team Coaches' All-SEC pick in 2008. He totaled 93 tackles last season, despite missing two and one-half games because of injury, and ranked third in the league in tackles per game. He also rated sixth in the SEC in tackles for loss with 13. He was named to the preseason second team by the league coaches.
Last but not least offensive tackle Zipp Duncan was named to the team. Duncan was a key part of the UK offensive line that ranked fourth in the nation last season in fewest quarterback sacks allowed and 11th in fewest tackles for loss allowed. After starting every game the last two seasons at offensive guard, he will shift to left tackle for the 2009 season. Duncan was a preseason third-team selection by the league coaches.
