Five Arkansas players were named to the Associated Press All-SEC Team Monday.

Hunter Henry and Sebastian Tretola were first-team selections and Drew Morgan, Dan Skipper and Alex Collins made the second team.

Henry caught 47 passes for 647 yards and three touchdowns this season and won the John Mackey Award as the top tight end in college football.

He is the second tight end in Arkansas history to be named first-team all-SEC by the coaches and the AP, joining D.J. Williams in 2010.

Tretola, who has started 23 straight games at left guard, led the Razorbacks with an 84 percent grade in 2015 and was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after the Razorbacks’ road win over Tennessee.

Morgan emerged as Arkansas’ best wide receiver this season, leading the Razorbacks with 55 receptions, 751 yards and 10 touchdowns.

His 10 touchdowns are tied for third most in a single season in UA history and he is Arkansas’ first all-SEC wide receiver since Cobi Hamilton in 2012.

Skipper has started 33 consecutive games at three different positions on the offensive line, including all 12 at right tackle this season. He was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after the Razorbacks’ road win over LSU.

Collins is the ninth running back in school history named to an all-SEC team. He has 1,392 yards and 17 touchdowns on 248 carries in 2015.

He needs only three touchdowns to break Bill Burnett’s single-season touchdown record set in 1969. If he runs for 53 yards in the Liberty Bowl, Collins will move into second on the UA’s career rushing yards list.

With five in 2015, Arkansas has 11 first- and second-team AP all-SEC selections in Bret Bielema’s three seasons at Arkansas.

Martrell Spaight (first team), Jonathan Williams (second) and Darius Philon (second) were on last year’s teams and Travis Swanson (first), Henry (second) and Zach Hocker (second) were 2013 selections.
