Three Longhorns Will Represent Texas at SEC Media Days

The 2025 SEC Football Media Days will be held July 14-17 in Atlanta.

On Tuesday, the conference announced the official student-athlete attendee list and three Texas Longhorns will accompany head coach Steve Sarkisian on the trip.

Safety Michael Taaffe, quarterback Arch Manning, and linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. were chosen to represent Texas at the event. It's a big honor as each program typically sends their team leaders to attend. Last year, the Longhorns sent quarterback Quinn Ewers, offensive lineman Kelvin Banks Jr., and defensive back Jahdae Barron.

Taaffe was the sure-fire bet to be a team leader for the Longhorns this season, but it's certainly encouraging to see that Manning and Hill have stepped up as leaders on and off the field as well.

Other notable names chosen to attend are LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, and Florida quarterback DJ Lagway.

Texas A&M, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, and Alabama are the only SEC programs not sending their starting quarterback to SEC Media Days.

Texas' season will kick off in Columbus against Ohio State on Aug. 30.
