Day 3 of the SEC Football Media Days will take place on Wednesday, July 12 inside the Hyatt Regency Birmingham in Hoover, Alabama.
The biggest name in SEC football will be available to the media on Wednesday, as Nick Saban and his Alabama Crimson Tide will join three other conference teams on Day 3 of the SEC Football Media Days. Saban will be joined by defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick, offensive lineman Bradley Bozeman, and wide receiver Calvin Ridley, all of whom will answer questions.
In addition to Alabama, Day 3 will also feature Kentucky, Missouri, and Texas A&M. The conference was broken up into four groups over the four days, and will have not only their head coach, but also three other student-athletes. These days give the media a look inside the program, as well as wet everybody’s taste buds who are looking forward to the college football season.
The Kentucky Wildcats will be represented by head coach Mark Stoops, who signed a contract extension this offseason that will run through 2022. Joining coach Stoops will be quarterback Stephen Johnson, who played very well last season when starter Drew Barker was injured. Linebacker Courtney Love and safety Mike Edwards will also be available for questions.
Missouri will also be bringing their quarterback, as Drew Lock will join head coach Barry Odom, linebacker Eric Beisel, and wide receiver J’Mon Moore. Lock threw for 23 touchdowns against only 10 interceptions last season, while completing nearly 55% of his passes. Moore led the Tigers in catches (62) and receiving yards (1,012) last season, and Beisel came on late last season, and is coming off a very good spring.
The fourth team on Wednesday is Texas A&M, which is led by head coach Kevin Sumlin. Player available will be defensive back Armani Watts, offensive lineman Koda Martin, and wide receiver Christian Kirk. Kirk caught 83 passes for nearly 1,000 yards last season, scoring nine times. Watts is one of the better defensive backs in the conference, and Martin is a budding star along the Aggies offensive line.

The Crimson Tide are an early favorite to win not only the Southeastern Conference in 2017, but possibly the whole thing. Saban will certainly have his team ready to play, and with a bunch of talent returning on both sides of the ball, they will be the class of the SEC once again. Day 4 is scheduled for Thursday, where media will get to speak with Auburn, Ole Miss, and South Carolina.
