With the 2025 SEC Kickoff on the horizon, the conference announced the full list of attendees. SEC Media Days get underway July 14 in Atlanta.

Three athletes from each school will be in attendance as Talkin’ Season heats up. Of course, one of the most notable players who will be at the Omni Atlanta Hotel is Arch Manning, who’s gearing up for his first year as the starting quarterback at Texas. He is one of 11 quarterbacks who are heading to Atlanta, joining a group that includes LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, Florida’s DJ Lagway and South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers.
