The Arch Manning experience is underway in Austin. The Longhorns’ public has been crying out to see their sophomore quarterback take over the offense, and he projects to have a huge influence in 2025. The offense maintains a quality running back room in Quintrevion Wisner and CJ Baxter, while Ryan Wingo returns to be the go-to receiving weapon.
The Georgia Bulldogs are perennial contenders under Kirby Smart and are looking to bounce back from a disappointing season by their standards, even though they won the SEC Championship Game.
Yet again, Alabama is stacked with talent on both sides of the ball. Ty Simpson has the full-time job under center and has one of the top duos in the country to throw to in Germie Bernard and Ryan Williams.
Brian Kelly enters his fourth season in charge in 2025 and is supported by one of the top quarterbacks in the nation under center. Garrett Nussmeier ascended to be one of the top passers in the SEC in 2024, and his return in 2025 means he will be surrounded by an exciting group of receivers in Nic Anderson, Barion Browns, and Aaron Anderson.
The South Carolina Gamecocks have playmakers on both sides of the ball and look set to repeat their success from 2024, despite losing several high-profile names to the 2025 NFL Draft. Most notably, the return of QB LaNorris Sellers provides a dependable floor for the offense, as the 6’3”, 240-pound creative force looks to solidify himself as one of the top passers in the nation.
