SEC football arrests are at a record-low pace heading into the 2016 season.

According to a report from NOLA.com, the SEC will have its lowest arrest total through the first three months of the year since 2011. If the 14 schools can avoid any unfortunate off-field mishaps from now until the start of April, the league will have just seven football arrests through January, February and March.

Last year, the total through the first three months of the year was 12.

Keep watch from May 1 to July 31, though, as the report states that 72 SEC players and coaches have been arrested during that timeframe over the last five years.
