What to expect for Texas Longhorns SEC Media Days
Next week. 👀📍 Atlanta🗓️ July 14-17Attendees:
SEC Media Days is in full swing in Atlanta. The four day event will highlight four teams per day. Texas will take the stage tomorrow (Tuesday). The Longhorns will be represented by coach Steve Sarkisian, quarterback Arch Manning, safety Michael Taaffe and linebacker Anthony Hill, Jr.
The Texas portion of the media days will be on Tuesday at 2:25 p.m. CT. There will be several storylines that should be hot topics during the Longhorns presentation. Here are a few:
Arch Manning
Texas' new QB1 might be the most anticipated speaker at the event. Despite only starting two games in his career, Manning is possibly the biggest start in college football. Manning will now be doing more and more press, but this will be the first time he meets the press since ascending to the top spot on the quarterback depth chart.
Strong Defense
Taaffe and Hill will be asked to discuss the Longhorns stout defense from 2024 and how it will change with some new personnel. Experts and scouts expect big things from UT's defense, which is ranked as the No. 2 defensive unit in the recently released EA College Football 26.
Ewers vs. Manning
Sark will undoubtely be asked about his decision to stick with Ewers in the college football playoffs. Many in the media have openly questioned the decision, including ESPN's Paul Finebaum and former Florida coach Steve Spurrier.
College Football Playoff Format
It will probably be a topic with every coach at SEC Media Days, and around the nation. As the CFP committee discuss format changes, no one has a better perspective than Sarkisian, who has led Texas to two college football semifinals in a row, one in a four-team format and one in last year's 12 team format.
Taaffe's unique story
The rise from walk-on to All-American will be something Taaffe will speak about. His remarkable story has captivated fans and media members across the country.
