Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is walking taller than ever—and for good reason. The Longhorns are sending a message loud and clear: they’re not just adjusting to SEC life; they’re owning it.
During a recent appearance on the 3rd and Longhorn show, Sarkisian couldn’t stop flexing. “Who’s the one school that’s gone to back-to-back college football playoffs, back-to-back semifinals? Who’s the one school their first year in the SEC that went to the SEC Championship game?” he asked rhetorically. The answer? Texas—and Sark just got 13 more reasons to boast.
On July 17, Inside Texas dropped a bombshell on X:
“TRENDING🚨 Texas had 5 players selected First Team Preseason All-SEC🤘 The Longhorns led the SEC with 13 total selections🐂.”
The SEC Media Days announcement solidified Texas’ status as a force to be reckoned with. Among the standout names were junior RB Quintrevion Wisner, senior OL DJ Campbell, and defensive beast Anthony Hill Jr. But it’s the newcomers who are turning heads.
Future superstar Arch Manning, explosive WR Ryan Wingo, and key 2024 contributors like Trevor Goosby, Colin Simmons, and Malik Muhammad round out a deep, talent-loaded roster. Their inclusion signals not just promise—but proven production.
As preseason chatter turns to kickoff hype, one thing’s crystal clear: Texas isn’t rebuilding. They’re reloading—and the rest of the SEC better be ready.
