SEC Football Legends

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SEC Football Legends is an annual award program of the Southeastern Conference designed to honor outstanding former college football players from each of the conference's fourteen member institutions. Begun in 1994, the Legends Dinner featuring video highlights of each honoree's career is one of various events of the week leading up to the SEC Championship Game.[1] The honorees are also recognized at halftime of the game.
