Senior linebacker Chris Cole, a junior in 2025, received third-team recognition for his versatility and a career-high 4.5 sacks last year.

Defensive back Raylen Wilson, now a senior, was placed on the second-team list after compiling 74 total tackles and 2.5 sacks in the previous campaign.

Redshirt freshman Ellis Robinson IV broke out with a career-high four tackles and an interception against Georgia Tech, earning second-team preseason honors.

Veteran center Drew Bobo, a senior and first-team All-SEC selection, was rewarded with third-team All-American status after starting every game when healthy.
