With the SEC tournament quickly heading down toward the finishing line, the SEC announced its awards for the 2025 softball season.

Announced Friday afternoon , seven Texas Longhorns earned All-SEC recognitions. The most by a team in the SEC, with the next closest being the Texas A&M Aggies with five, and four other programs featured four on the All-SEC lists.

Junior catcher Reese Atwood, sophomore pitcher Teagan Kavan, senior infielder Mia Scott, and graduate infielder Joley Mitchell all received First-Team All-SEC honors. Redshirt junior outfielder Ashton Maloney, sophomore infielder Katie Stewart, and sophomore outfielder Kayden Henry garnered Second-Team All-SEC honors.

Three out of the four Longhorn All-SEC first-teamers are listed in USA Softball's Top-25 finalists for Player of the Year. Atwood, Kavan, and Scott are all shortlisted for the award for their stellar 2025 campaigns that have the Longhorns a win away from the SEC tournament's championship game, taking on the Aggies on Friday.

Scott's legendary career with the Longhorns gets another notch in her resume, as this First-Team All-SEC selection, marks Scott as receiving all-conference honors in each of her four seasons with Texas. Earning All-Big 12 second team as a freshman, All-Big 12 first team her sophomore and junior years, and finally concluding with the SEC's first team selection as a senior.

Maloney and Atwood follow the same trajectory as Scott. This is the pair's third time earning all-conference honors across two different conferences. Both earned All-Big 12 second team in 2023 and All-Big 12 first team in 2024. On top of their first-team selections this season, both players earned a place on the SEC's All-Defensive team for their play at catcher and outfielder, respectively.

And for the three second-year players of Henry, Stewart, and Kavan, it's the trio's second time earning all-conference honors. Kavan has received back-to-back first-team honors in her first two years with the Longhorns, the first time a player has received first-team selections in their first two years since 2018-19. And the duo of Stewart and Henry were both selected to the All-Big 12 second team a season ago.

Texas softball dominates conference awards season in its first year in the SEC, with sights set on an SEC tournament championship.
