Which Aggies made the 2025 preseason All-SEC team?
For Texas A&M, the picks were fair and well-deserved. An argument could be made that a few Aggies should've landed on the first or second team, but ultimately, the right players were recognized. And let's be real: preseason predictions hold zero weight—they're just snapshots of future projections based on past production. Aggie fans know this firsthand, after watching the 2025 A&M baseball team miss the postseason despite entering the year ranked No. 1.
Before we dive into the Aggies who made the cut, it's worth noting a few names that might spark memories if you've followed recruiting battles the past few seasons. Anthony Hill, Cam Coleman, and Harold Perkins were all once A&M commits who flipped to other programs late. LT Overton and Eli Stowers transferred out for better opportunities, and both have flourished—especially Stowers, now one of the best tight ends in the nation.
Without further ado, here are the Aggies selected to the 2025 preseason All-SEC teams:
First Team
The lone first-team Aggie, Moss, earned this recognition. The senior was well on pace for a 1,000-yard, 12–15 touchdown season before suffering a season-ending injury after nine games. He landed on the 2024 All-SEC Second Team and earned Offensive MVP honors at the team's awards banquet. Moss finished with 765 yards on 121 carries and 10 touchdowns.
Second Team
A transfer from Kansas, Reed-Adams started every game at right guard. He helped power an offense that averaged 195.5 rushing yards per game—second-best in the SEC. Though he received a solid draft grade, the graduate student chose to return for one final season and will serve as a team captain.
Zuhn has demonstrated year-over-year growth since its arrival in 2021. As another veteran leader up front, he played a key role in A&M's top-30 rushing attack. In 2024, he earned SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week, landed on the All-SEC Third Team, and took home the Offensive Trenches Award at the team banquet. He'll also captain the 2025 squad.
Lee transferred in and immediately made his presence felt, starting all 12 regular-season games. At 6'3" with rangy arms, he posed a tough matchup for opposing receivers and ranked fifth in the SEC with 10 pass breakups. He finished with 39 tackles, 12 passes defended, and two interceptions—one returned for a touchdown. He earned a 2024 All-SEC Second Team spot and won the Defensive Skill award at the banquet.
Third Team
Bisontis likely could've landed on the second team had he not missed three games due to injury. Like Zuhn and Reed-Adams, he played a key role in anchoring the ground game while helping protect the quarterback amid instability at the position. In 2023, he earned ESPN All-American and All-SEC Freshman honors.
What York lacks in size and speed, he more than makes up for with instincts and football IQ. A relative unknown heading into his freshman season, York grabbed the starting role and thrived. He earned spots on the ESPN and All-SEC Freshman teams and was named a Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Semifinalist. The team captain led A&M with 82 tackles—12th-best in the SEC—and finished with 83 tackles, 9.5 TFLs, 2.5 sacks, and an interception.

How does the SEC stack up in CBS Sports 1-136 rankings for the 2025 season?
The 2025 college football season will kick off in just a few weeks. More than ever, the SEC feels wide open this season with a number of teams that have a legitimate shot at winning the conference. The Oklahoma Sooners enter the year with a lot to prove. The Sooners open the season unranked in the US LBM Coaches Poll for the first time in 25 years. As they say, it's not how you start, but how you finish. It will be an uphill climb for the Sooners in the SEC, and they'll have to overcome one of the more difficult schedules in the nation. Oklahoma will play seven teams ranked in the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll. Six of those teams are in the SEC, and each of them ranks ahead of the Sooners in CBS Sports' ranking of all 136 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Here's a look at how the SEC stacks up. 70. Mississippi State Bulldogs SEC Rank: 16 US LBM Coaches Poll: Unranked Week 1: at Southern Mississippi Jeff Lebby has a tough road ahead for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Any success they have will be predicated on the offense scoring a bunch of points, and that's going to require a bounce-back season from Blake Shapen. 57. Kentucky Wildcats SEC Rank: 15 US LBM Coaches Poll: Unranked Week 1: vs. Toledo The Kentucky Wildcats are betting big on Zach Calzada after he put up a big season for Incarnate Word. He won't have to do much to improve on Brock Vandergriff's season for the Wildcats. 47. Vanderbilt Commodores SEC Rank: 14 US LBM Coaches Poll: Unranked Week 1: vs. Charleston Southern Vanderbilt enters the 2025 season just four spots behind the Arkansas Razorbacks in CBS Sports rankings. But Diego Pavia and the Commodores won't be sneaking up on anyone in 2025. Can they still pull off an upset or two and find their way to a bowl game? Pavia has Vandy believing. 43. Arkansas Razorbacks SEC Rank: 13 US LBM Coaches Poll: Unranked Week 1: vs. Alabama A&M Taylen Green raises the floor for the Arkansas Razorbacks, but the rest of the roster will keep the ceiling relatively low. They'll surprise a team or two in SEC play, but are far from a title contender. 32. Auburn Tigers SEC Rank: 12 US LBM Coaches Poll: Unranked Week 1: at Baylor The Auburn Tigers have a talented roster surrounding Jackson Arnold. They could be a surprise contender in 2025 if the former Sooner quarterback has improved his ball security and decision-making since last season. That week one matchup against Baylor will set the tone for the Tigers season. 28. Missouri Tigers SEC Rank: 11 US LBM Coaches Poll: Unranked Week 1: vs. Central Arkansas Despite losing several really important pieces off of their offense, the Missouri Tigers have a schedule that is manageable, including six home games to start the season. They don't go on the road until October 18 when they face Auburn. 24. Oklahoma Sooners SEC Rank: 10 US LBM Coaches Poll: Unranked Week 1: vs. Illinois State The Oklahoma Sooners will have one of the best defenses in the SEC in 2025, and the offense will be significantly better. If the offensive line returns to expectation, Oklahoma could be a conference title contender this year. 22. Ole Miss Rebels SEC Rank: 9 US LBM Coaches Poll: 15 Week 1: vs. Georgia State Lane Kiffin had the Rebels on the cusp of the playoff last year with a fantastic roster. But a lot of those stars are gone, and they're turning to a first-year starter in Austin Simmons. Stepping back a couple of wins wouldn't be out of the questions. 20. Tennessee Volunteers SEC Rank: 8 US LBM Coaches Poll: 18 Week 1: vs. Syracuse Tennessee lost so much on both sides of the ball that they seem more likely to finish outside the top 25 at the end of the season than they do ranked. 18. Texas A&M Aggies SEC Rank: 7 US LBM Coaches Poll: 21 Week 1: vs. UTSA Texas A&M will look more like an old school type of football team, playing a smashmouth style with a strong running game and one of the best defenses in the SEC. 16. South Carolina Gamecocks SEC Rank: 6 US LBM Coaches Poll: 13 Week 1: vs. Virginia Tech The Gamecocks lost a lot from a defense that was really good but will have one of the best quarterbacks in the nation leading a South Carolina offense that averaged 30 points per game a season ago. Even if the defense takes a small step back from the 18.1 points per game they allowed last year, the Gamecocks will still be a SEC title contender. 12. Florida Gators SEC Rank: 5 US LBM Coaches Poll: 17 Week 1: vs. Long Island University The only team that might have a schedule as difficult as the Oklahoma Sooners is the Florida Gators. D.J. Lagway has a high ceiling, but injuries continue to limit his development. If he can shake of the injury bug, the Gators could improve from their 8-5 season a year ago. 9. LSU Tigers SEC Rank: 4 US LBM Coaches Poll: 9 Week 1: at Clemson Garrett Nussmeier is one of the best quarterbacks in the country heading into 2025 with a great grop of skill players around him. If the defense has made a jump, the LSU Tigers will be a legit title contender. 8. Alabama Crimson Tide SEC Rank: 3 US LBM Coaches Poll: 8 Week 1: at Florida State A pair of upsets to Vanderbilt and Oklahoma kept Alabama out of the College Football Playoff, but Kalen DeBoer had a solid first year and has a talented roster led by one of the best players in the game, wide receiver Ryan Williams. 5. Georgia Bulldogs SEC Rank: 2 US LBM Coaches Poll: 4 Week 1: vs. Marshall There hasn't been a more consistent program in the country than the Georgia Bulldogs over the course of Kirby Smart's tenure in Athens. History suggests the Bulldogs will win 10 games and be in the SEC championship game at the end of the season. 1. Texas Longhorns SEC Rank: 1 US LBM Coaches Poll: 1 Week 1: at Ohio State All eye will be on the Texas Longhorns in 2025. With Arch Manning leading the way, Texas hopes to improve on back-to-back semifinal exits in the College Football Playoff and go the distance to win the national championship.

Florida running back Jadan Baugh named to 2025 Doak Walker Award preseason watch list
The preseason watchlist announcements continue to roll in this week, and the latest member of the 2025 Florida football squad to get the call is sophomore running back Jadan Baugh, who is one of 102 players named to the 2025 Doak Walker Award preseason watch list. The ball carrier from Atlanta, Georgia, is among 31 sophomores mentioned on the list following a superb campaign in 2024. Baugh tied a program record of five rushing touchdowns in his first start — the only Gator to accomplish this feat in his collegiate debut — while also joining fellow freshman DJ Lagway in becoming the first true freshman running back and quarterback duo to start in the same game in UF history. Baugh played in all 13 games while leading the team with 673 rushing yards and eight total touchdowns last fall, and tied for a team-best seven rushing touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. His efforts earned him a Freshman All-SEC honor for his work following the conclusion of the season. He also excelled on special teams, averaging 21.6 yards per return while representing one of eight SEC players and one of 11 freshmen in FBS to have two 30-yard-plus kick returns. In the classroom, Baugh was named to the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll and Freshman All-SEC team. Florida's starting running back was also named to the Paul Hornung Award preseason watch list last week, which is given to the most versatile player in college football. About the Doak Walker Award The Doak Walker Award is presented to college football's most outstanding running back and was named after SMU's three-time All-American Doak Walker when it was created back in 1989. The award not only recognizes student-athletes' abilities on the field, but also their dedication to work within the community and the classroom. The 10 semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award are chosen by the PwC SMU Athletic Forum in November. The three finalists for the award are chosen in early December by the Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee, which is comprised of past award recipients, former NFL All-Pro and college All-American running backs, media members, and a few selected special representatives. The award winner will be announced live at The Home Depot College Football Awards on Friday, Dec. 12.

Former Yankees pitcher Lance Lynn defends Aaron Boone — this is what you aren't seeing
Aaron Boone has been catching all kinds of heat for the Yankees' recent struggles, but former pitcher Lance Lynn is stepping to the manager's defense. 'If it needs to be addressed, he is addressing it,' the longtime pitcher said Monday on the 'Foul Territory' podcast. 'He's not gonna talk through the media, he's not gonna tell you what's going on in the clubhouse. He played the game, he played at a very high level. He knows how it works. Whatever happens in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse.' Boone has caught blowback from fans who are frustrated that he has not held his players more accountable after mistakes, but Lynn is certain that the manager is doing his job – behind closed doors. Advertisement 'Positive he's addressing everything that's going wrong with the players, and the players are addressing it too, but they're not gonna tell you about it,' Lynn said. 'Because the more that gets out in New York, the worse it gets.' Lynn, who enjoyed a 15-year MLB career, played for Boone on the Yankees in 2018 after getting traded midway through that season. Lance Lynn defended Aaron Boone on the 'Foul Territory' podcast. @FoulTerritoryTV/X Advertisement The Yankees are on a four-game skid and are 8-19 in their 27 games, dropping them to third place in the American League East. But no matter the struggles, Lynn said he sees no benefit in the manager walking into a press conference and lambasting his players. 'They would rather you say, 'Oh, you're not doing enough than 'Oh, he's blowing people up,' and there's more of a story there and things leaking out of the clubhouse, and that causes more problems than what's going on,' Lynn said. 'They know what's wrong, they know how to fix it and they've addressed it. But the problem with the fans and the media and all that, they want to know what's said and how it was said. Advertisement 'And we all know from the best clubhouses we've been in, they stay in-house and no one knows what's going on and you write it yourself.' The Yankees are on a four-game losing streak. JASON SZENES/ NY POST Lynn was a consistently impactful starter in his long career, and he notched All-Star appearances with the Cardinals in 2012 and with the White Sox in 2021. He also won the World Series with St. Louis in 2011.
