South Carolina landed three newcomers on the SEC Coaches' All-Freshman Football Team that was announced Thursday.

Linebacker Skai Moore and place kicker Elliott Fry were selected to the team, while Pharoh Cooper earned an all-purpose nod for the offense and a second spot as a return specialist.

The teams were voted on by the SEC's 14 head coaches, who were not able to vote for their own players. Ole Miss wide receiver Laquon Treadwell on Wednesday was named the SEC’s Freshman of the Year.
