Tramon Mark and Tre Johnson named to coaches’ preseason All-SEC teams

As October ended, the SEC announced the men’s basketball coaches preseason All-SEC teams. The Longhorns were well represented, with Tramon Mark and Tre Johnson making the cut. They were both chosen by league coaches.

For Mark, the honor comes as no surprise. During his college career, Mark has appeared in 107 games for Houston and Arkansas, recording 1,200 points and 424 rebounds. He is coming off the best season of his career, in which he averaged a team-high 16.2 points per game for Arkansas.

In Johnson, the Longhorns have one of the most talented players in the freshman class. He was the No. 5-ranked player nationally in the class of 2024 by 247 Sports Composite, ESPN, and Rivals. Johnson was a human highlight reel during his prep career, scoring 2,563 points. He was named the 2024 MaxPreps State of Missouri Player of the Year.

The Longhorns have a talented duo in Johnson and Mark, who should make life difficult for SEC teams. Mark brings needed experience to the locker room, and Johnson has one of the highest ceilings in the class. That has created excitement for what the 2024-2025 campaign holds.

On Tuesday night, the Longhorns will open their season with a neutral-site matchup against Ohio State as part of the Hall of Fame Series Las Vegas Opening Night event. It will be the first chance for Johnson and Mark to show why coaches hold them in high regard.
