On Monday the SEC released the media voting for the 2025-26 basketball season and Mississippi State junior Josh Hubbard was voted preseason first-team All-SEC.

In the preseason team poll, Mississippi State was predicted to finish 10th in the SEC this season. The Bulldogs finished 21-13 last season, including 8-10 in the league, and advanced to the program’s third straight NCAA Tournament.

Hubbard led the Bulldogs in scoring last season at 18.9 points a game and enters his junior season with 1,240 career points. That total is the third-most in Bulldog history through a player’s first 69 games and currently ranks 27th all-time in scoring in school history.

Also in the past two seasons, Hubbard has made a school-record 108 three-pointers. He is also the first Bulldog to score at least 600 points and dish out 100 assists in his first two seasons. Hubbard and former State standout Erick Dampier are the only two players in school history to earn All-SEC honors in their freshman and sophomore campaigns.

The Bulldogs open the 2025-26 season on November 5th against North Alabama in an 8 p.m. tipoff at Humphrey Coliseum.
