Texas Leads Preseason All-SEC Honors Ahead of 2026 Season

Eleven Longhorns earn preseason accolades as conference predicts a Georgia showdown

The SEC has unveiled its preseason All-SEC team, and Texas is well represented, with eleven Longhorns earning spots across the three divisions.

First-Team Selections

Five of those athletes — Cam Coleman, Trevor Goosby, Colin Simmons, Rasheem Biles and Ryan Niblett — were selected to the first team, marking a notable achievement for the program.

Second-Team and Continuity

Arch Manning, Ryan Niblett and Trey Dubuc earned second-team honors, while Goosby, Manning, Simmons and Wingo join the first team for the second straight year, underscoring their sustained impact.

Projected Standings

The preseason projections also see Texas slated to finish second in the SEC behind Georgia, setting up a potential rematch of the 2024 championship game.

Season Opener

The Longhorns will open the 2026 campaign against Texas State on September 5 at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, a game that will be streamed live on ESPN.

With a blend of returning honorees and fresh talent, the team aims to translate preseason optimism into on-field dominance as the SEC race unfolds.
