Four Kentucky Wildcats named preseason All-SEC for 2026

Four players from the Kentucky Wildcats have been recognized as preseason All-SEC selections for the 2026 college football season. Center Coleton Price and tight end Willie Rodriguez received second-team honors, while tackle Lance Heard and safety Ty Bryant were named to the third team. Price, who previously played at Baylor, had an impressive season with only one sack allowed. Rodriguez is expected to have an increased role this year after a productive 2025 season. Heard's experience in the SEC is highlighted as he steps into a starting role, while Bryant is noted for his leading defensive contributions last season, including team-high tackles and interceptions. This recognition comes as Coach Will Stein prepares for his inaugural season with the Wildcats.
