Two Missouri Tigers have landed on the media's preseason All-SEC Teams, the conference announced Friday After the Tigers took the stage for SEC Media Days, junior offensive guard Cayden Green landed on the first team and senior wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. on the third team.

Green earned first-team honors after a strong debut season in 2024 in which he started all 13 games and helped anchor the Tigers' offensive line. The Lee's Summit native is entering his second season in Columbia and has already earned multiple preseason All-American accolades.

The 6-foot-5, 324-pound lineman from Lee's Summit North High School has collected 1,504 career snaps across 24 games and 18 starts between his time at Mizzou and Oklahoma. Green aided a Tigers offense that racked up 2,138 rushing and 2,926 passing yards in 2024.

Coleman has earned third-team honors after transferring in from Mississippi State, marking his fourth stop of his collegiate career. He will hopefully fill the shoes of Luther Burden III and Theo Wease Jr. as the top receiver on this Missouri roster.

The St. Louis native has totaled 132 receptions for 1,769 yards and 11 touchdowns in 39 career games at Jackson State, Louisville and Mississippi State. At MSU last year, he earned third-team All-SEC honors and ranked fifth in the SEC with 932 receiving yards on 74 receptions, including six touchdowns.  

Although the Tigers had 21 wins over the last two seasons, which is tied for third among all SEC teams, Mizzou was picked to finish 12th in the league's preseason media poll. The media predicted Texas to win the SEC Championship this season, followed by runner-up Georgia.
