Texas Longhorns selected second in SEC, 11 players named All-SEC

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian addressed the media at SEC Football Kickoff Media Day in Tampa on July 23, 2026. The SEC preseason poll has projected Texas to finish second in the conference, receiving 57 first-place votes, while Georgia topped the poll with 88 votes. On the All-SEC teams, Texas placed four players on the first team, including wide receiver Cam Coleman and left tackle Trevor Goosby. Seven additional Longhorns earned recognition across second and third-team selections. Texas aims to challenge Georgia for the conference title but can still pursue a national championship without an SEC title.
