Phil Steele magazine announced its preseason All-American and All-SEC teams the last two days, and the lists are littered with Tigers.
Left guard Cayden Green was named a preseason First Team All-American by the publication after starting every game last season for Mizzou. The junior is generating early draft buzz, ranked as the top offensive guard prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft by ESPN’s Matt Miller.
Green was also named to the preseason All-SEC First Team, one of nine Tigers to garner preseason honors.
Newcomers Ahmad Hardy, Kevin Coleman Jr. and Jalen Catalon were named to the second team after headlining this off-season’s star-studded transfer class.
