BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – The Southeastern Conference will hold its first-ever virtual football media days in 2020, the Conference announced Wednesday.

SEC Football Media Days was scheduled to be held in Atlanta, July 13-16, at the College Football Hall of Fame and Omni Atlanta Hotel.

“Conducting football media days in a virtual format will provide us the opportunity to manage the event in a healthy manner as we continue to be impacted by COVID-19, and will provide flexibility for our programs to adjust their preparation for the 2020 football season according to the preseason calendar that is expected to be expanded due to the cancellation of the spring football season,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey.  “We look forward to returning to our traditional media days format in 2021.”

The virtual event will feature Sankey’s annual “State of the SEC” address, as well as media sessions with the conference's 14 head coaches and select student-athletes from each school.  The SEC is in planning with the SEC Network to provide wall-to-wall coverage of the virtual event.

The dates and times for SEC Virtual Football Media Days have not been announced at this time.

I wonder what players will be selected to be interviewed?  These are upperclassmen, not necessarily a Sr., if a guy is expected to go pro after his Jr. year.

I could see JaMarr Chase, Jacoby Stevens, maybe Myles Brennan.  Austin Deculus comes to mind, he's played a lot of right tackle for the Tigers.  We lost so many starters to the draft there are not a lot of players with tons of experience to pick from.  Glen Logan on the d-line is a Sr.  Derek Stingley made first team all american as a freshman, and he is articulate, I think the media would like to talk to him.

I'll propose Chase, Stevens, and Stingley.  Normally I would not propose a sophomore, but normally you don't have a freshman make all american.
