BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Alabama baseball's Zane Adams and Justin Lebron each earned Southeastern Conference postseason honors, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
Adams and Lebron were each named to the league's All-Freshman Team, while Lebron also garnered first-team and all-defensive honors from the conference's head coaches.
The duo are the second All-Freshman pair in as many years after Alton Davis II and Colby Shelton were named to the 2023 list. Lebron's first team accolades are the first for a Crimson Tide player since Sam Praytor in 2021.
