Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop replaced SEC Offensive Player of the Year Dylan Sampson nicely in 2025, totaling 1,211 yards and 16 touchdowns on 197 touches.

Texas quarterback Arch Manning was one of the most hyped-up quarterbacks in recent memory heading into last season, but as a first-year starter, he had plenty of struggles, especially early in the season.

Despite having a strong defense for most of the last few seasons, Texas replaced defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski with Will Muschamp this offseason.

One of Florida head coach Jon Sumrall's first moves was to bring in former Georgia Tech offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner to run the show on offense in Gainesville, and according to one anonymous SEC coach, it was a "home-run hire."

Ohio State true freshman wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. was a consensus five-star prospect in the Class of 2026, and given the Buckeyes' recent history of success at the position, he'll face immediate pressure to be productive.
