Rebel Linebacker One of 14 SEC Student-Athletes Represented
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Ole Miss linebacker Mohamed Sanogo is among 14 Southeastern Conference student-athletes who have been chosen to represent their team and institution as a member of the SEC Football Student-Athlete Leadership Council.
One representative from each SEC institution makes up the Council, which will hold its annual meeting at SEC headquarters in Birmingham on Friday and Saturday.
Sanogo, who started all 12 games at linebacker for Ole Miss during the 2018 season, led the Rebels with 112 total tackles on the season. He is one of only two Rebels over the last 12 years to record at least 100 tackles in a season.
The Plano, Texas, native became the only Rebel since at least 1998 to record two 16-plus tackle games in the same season. Sanogo's 9.3 tackles per game ranked third in SEC.
The Football Leadership Council is one of three components of the SEC Student-Athlete Leadership Council. The other two consist of representatives on the Men's and Women's Basketball Leadership Councils.
Agenda items for the group this weekend include a meeting with SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, a review of NCAA and SEC legislative items, open discussion on topics submitted by members of the Council, and engagement with football officials on rules of the game, student-athlete/referee interaction and careers in officiating. LSU's Blake Ferguson, who attended the NCAA Convention last week as one of three SEC student-athlete representatives, will provide an update as Chair of the SEC Football Leadership Council.
The student-athletes who comprise the SEC Football Leadership Council are: Chris Owens (Alabama), T.J. Smith (Arkansas), Derrick Brown (Auburn), Jeremiah Moon (Florida), Rodrigo Blankenship (Georgia), Jordan Griffin (Kentucky), Blake Ferguson (LSU), Mohamed Sanogo (Ole Miss), Tyre Phillips (Mississippi State), Larry Rountree III (Missouri), Daniel Fennell (South Carolina), Ryan Johnson (Tennessee), Keeath Magee (Texas A&M) and Colin Anderson (Vanderbilt).
