​The 2026 SEC media days have come and gone this week in Tampa, Florida, and that means we’re one step closer to the college football regular season.As per usual, the SEC released the Preseason Media Poll All-SEC team on Friday, which was voted on by the media that was on hand covering this week’s event. After the Oklahoma Sooners had just three players make the all-league predictions a year ago, OU was much more well-represented in 2026.On the first team, both kicker Tate Sandell and long snapper Ben Anderson represented the Sooners. Sandell returned after winning the Lou Groza Award last season, while Anderson has established himself as one of the league’s best long snappers over the course of his career.Preseason Media All-@SEC 🏆» https://t.co/es8dSEXgSqpic.twitter.com/SXho3VuMYs— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) July 24, 2026OU had eight players selected to the second team. Wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III, offensive lineman Michael Fasusi, defensive linemen David Stone and Taylor Wein, linebacker Kip Lewis, defensive backs Eli Bowen and Peyton Bowen, and kicker/punter Grayson Miller all got the nod.Sategna returns as OU’s top wide receiver after showing off his explosiveness last year. Fasusi had an impressive true freshman season in Norman, establishing himself as Oklahoma’s starting left tackle. Stone and Wein were breakout stars for the Sooners last year on the front line of the defense. Lewis continues to be OU’s emotional leader on defense and is the longest-tenured Sooner. The Bowen brothers are back for another year patrolling the Oklahoma secondary, and Miller returns after becoming OU’s starter at punter early last season. He put together an impressive year in 2025.Although the Sooners had 10 players make the cut, there were still a few players who were snubbed from the all-league team. Among others, quarterback John Mateer, defensive lineman Jayden Jackson, linebacker Owen Heinecke, and defensive back Courtland Guillory each had a case, but the media saw it differently.Oklahoma will begin fall camp in less than two weeks, with the season-opener set for Friday, September 4th against UTEP at 7 p.m. in Norman.Contact/Follow us @SoonersWire on X, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Oklahoma news, notes, and opinions. You can also follow Aaron on X@Aaron_Gelvin.This article originally appeared on Sooners Wire: How many OU players made the Media Preseason All-SEC team?
