The United Athletic Conference revealed its preseason all‑team on Tuesday at the 2026 media day in Arlington, Texas, spotlighting a wave of talent from Abilene Christian University that could shape the conference landscape this fall.
Preseason All‑UAC Selections
On the offensive side, the Wildcats boast senior wide receiver Dallas Dudley, who topped the team with 494 receiving yards and 47 catches last season, alongside veteran linemen Colter Lynch, Landon Roaten and Luke Roaten, all of whom earned starting roles heading into the new campaign.
Defensively, the lineup features senior defensive linemen Chris Herpin and Kortlin Rausaw, who anchor the front, and defensive back Dillon Williams, a transfer from Central Arkansas who contributed 165 tackles, three interceptions and a defensive touchdown over the past two seasons.
Kicker Brandon Perez also earned recognition after a flawless extra‑point conversion rate of 46‑of‑47 and a 15‑of‑19 field‑goal record, highlighted by a 47‑yard game‑winner in a 31‑28 upset over No. 2 Tarleton State.
The selections underscore the Wildcats' depth and experience, positioning the program as a contender in the United Athletic Conference as it prepares for a full schedule beginning in August.
