Otega Oweh earns Preseason All-American honors; New SEC regular-season odds

We’re just 13 days away from the start of the 2025-26 college basketball season and 14 days from Kentucky’s opener vs. Nicholls. In turn, more preseason honors are out, some featuring a Kentucky Wildcat.

Last week, Otega Oweh was named Preseason SEC Player of the Year by the league’s media. This morning, ESPN’s Myron Medcalf echoed that honor, picking Oweh as his SEC Player of the Year.

The brother of Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Odafe Oweh, the 6-foot-5 guard could become the family’s brightest star if he earns an All-America nod, competes for the Wooden Award and leads Kentucky to the Final Four after a decade-long drought for the program.
