Bulldog Roundup: Coaches' preseason All-SEC teams revealed

Mississippi State isn’t getting much preseason love in terms of predictions and preseason honors, which is to be expected after the 2024 season the Bulldogs had.

The lone exception has been junior safety Isaac Smith, who has several preseason honors to his name including the Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List, SEC Media Preseason All-SEC (3rd Team, DB), Phil Steele Preseason All-SEC and Athlon Sports Preseason All-SEC team.

Now, he can add 2025 Coaches Preseason All-SEC Third Team to the list.

Smith was the only Bulldog to be named to one of the All-SEC teams voted on by the conference’s coaches. Smith, who earned Second Team All-SEC honors from the League's coaches last Fall, played in 11 games last season, registering 127 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, three pass break-ups and one fumble recovery. He led the SEC tackles and finished seventh nationally, becoming the third consecutive Mississippi State player to lead the SEC in tackles.

I feel like Texas high schools, when you consider the melting pot that exists in Texas, do a fairly impressive job. No education process is perfect, but I think that, with plenty of room to improve, they do an admirable job when you compare them to the rest of the field.Mike Leach
