USC defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was a unanimous selection to the All-SEC first team.

USC’s Ace Sanders was named as the all-purpose player on the second team. Gamecocks safety D.J. Swearinger also made the second team.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is the unanimous choice for Associated Press Southeastern Conference offensive player of the year after a dynamic debut season.

The team was announced Monday.

The redshirt freshman known as “Johnny Football” passed for 3,419 yards and 24 touchdowns, rushed for 1,181 yards and 19 TDs, and guided Texas A&M to a 10-2 mark in its first SEC season, including an upset of Alabama.

Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin is coach of the year, beating out Florida's Will Muschamp. Manziel is also freshman of the year and a unanimous choice as first-team quarterback.
