Seven Texas Longhorns land on All-SEC teams

That list includes Kelvin Banks Jr., Quinn Ewers, Jahdae Barron, Gunnar Helm, Anthony Hill Jr., Quintrevion Wisner, and Andrew Mukuba

Throughout the 2024 college football campaign, the Texas Longhorns have been one of the best teams in the SEC. During their first season in a new conference, the Longhorns did not disappoint, as seven players earned spots on All-SEC teams. That list includes Kelvin Banks Jr., Quinn EwersJahdae BarronGunnar HelmAnthony Hill Jr., Quintrevion Wisner, and Andrew Mukuba.

The Longhorns’ offense was well represented, with Banks earning first-team All-SEC honors. Ewers and Helm earned second-team All-SEC honors, while Wisner earned third-team All-SEC honors. With that talented group leading the way, Texas has been able to frustrate opponents on a weekly basis.

As the offense has thrived, the defense has played a critical role. That was on display Tuesday, with Barron receiving first-team All-SEC honors, Hill receiving second-team All-SEC honors, and Mukaba receiving third-team All-SEC honors.

With the Longhorns focus now shifting to the postseason, they will need their stars to continue to perform. In Ewers third year under center, he has thrown for 2,665 yards and 25 touchdowns while averaging 242.27 yards per game. His success has partly been due to Helm and Wisner, who have emerged as reliable weapons in an offense full of talent.

They will also need help from a defense that will face some of the best offenses in the country. The Longhorns are in good hands with Mukaba, who ranks fourth in tackles, and Hill, who has at least one sack in four straight games, leading the way.

Over the next few weeks, this group will be key to ending the Longhorns championship drought after proving they are among the best in the SEC at their positions.

Longhorns Quintrevion Wisner taking advantage of increased workload

The talented sophomore is getting more playing time and taking advantage of his opportunities

The Texas Longhorns’ running back depth has been tested during the 2024 campaign. While they have dealt with injuries, Quintrevion Wisner has emerged as a solid piece while putting together a career year. The talented sophomore is getting more playing time and taking advantage of his opportunities.

As the Longhorns have gotten off to a 6-1 start, Wisner has recorded 330 rushing yards on 60 carries. He averages 5.5 yards a carry and has found the end zone twice. The Glenn Heights native has also made an impact in through the air with 81 receiving yards.

With seven games in the books, Wisner leads the Longhorns in rushing yards and has shown he can handle a high workload. Last week against Georgia, he was the only Longhorns player with more than six rushing attempts. For a player who has had to fight for playing time, his impact has been a welcome surprise.

Last season, the Longhorns running back only got 12 carries, which he turned into 73 yards. Although he averaged 6.1 yards an attempt, he was unable to get consistent playing. This year, it has been a different story.

While leading the Texas rushing attack, Wisner has added one 100-yard game to his resume. That came earlier this month against the Oklahoma Sooners in a 34-3 win. Wisner showed he can be an impact piece when called upon in a conference game.

As the Longhorns look to build on their impressive start, Wisner should get plenty of carries for one of the best offenses in the country. With only five games left in the regular season, Wisner will be eager to prove that he is an important part of the future.
