It’s time once again to announce our SIS College Football Preseason All-SEC Team. We used our all-encompassing player value stat, Total Points, along with other metrics and our scouting work as leading references in putting together our selections.

A brief explanation of Total Points:

Total Points takes nearly everything that SIS measures about a play and uses it to evaluate each player on a scale that allows you to compare them more easily. It’s always useful to be able to understand the different ways in which players can be valuable. Does he break a lot of tackles? Does he get a lot of yards after the catch? Does he make the best out of a poor offensive line? Does he get more pressures than expected? Does he break up a lot of passes? Total Points offers the opportunity to take all of those elements and get a quick picture of how well a player is performing overall.

You can learn more about Total Points and the statistics referenced within this piece here.

Here are our selections:

1st Team Offense

1st Team Defense

1st Team Specialists

In what may come as a surprise to some, Vanderbilt and Missouri lead the way in Offensive players represented in our All-SEC 1st Team selections. Diego Pavia, Eli Stowers, and Jordan White look to build upon an impressive 2024 campaign, while Ahmad Hardy, Kevin Coleman Jr., and Cayden Green are all new to Missouri, via the transfer portal, heading into the 2025 season. Ryan Williams and Ryan Wingo round out the WR selections after bursting onto the scene as true freshmen, in 2024. Texas A&M’s Trey Zuhn III is joined by Florida Gators teammates Jake Slaughter and Austin Barber to round out the offensive line. 

Whit Weeks, Colin Simmons, Anthony Hill Jr., and Gracen Halton headline the defense as they were a part of our Preseason All-American teams. Albert Regis, Kedric Faulk and Suntarine Perkins round out a deep defensive line unit that returns to the SEC this season. Georgia’s Daylen Everette is joined by teammate KJ Bolden, who had an impressive freshman season. The rest of the secondary is rounded out by Kentucky’s Jonquis Hardaway and Missouri’s Jalen Catalon. 

The Specialists are headlined by Peyton Woodring and Tyler White who are 2nd Team Preseason All-American selections. 

A few players who we think deserve special mention heading into the 2025 season are LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier and Alabama LB Nikhai Hill-Green, who had an impressive 2024 campaign with Colorado. Two players who also were in All-SEC consideration were Tennessee’s Jermond McCoy and Luke Hasz, who both suffered injuries in preparation for the 2025 season.
