Brandon Drumm publicly reveals his complete 2026 SEC preseason ballot—including how he voted in the conference poll and which players made his All-SEC teams.

Oklahoma placed 10 players on the Preseason All-SEC Team: Tate Sandell, Ben Anderson, Kip Lewis, Grayson Miller, Isaiah Sategna III, Peyton Bowen, Taylor Wein, Eli Bowen, David Stone and Michael Fasusi. Yet despite all that individual talent, the SEC media still picked the Sooners to finish seventh overall. How does that make sense?

Drumm breaks down his ballot, explains where he placed Oklahoma and the rest of the SEC, and examines whether Brent Venables’ Sooners are being overlooked entering the 2026 season.

Plus, OUInsider delivers the latest Oklahoma team intel ahead of fall camp—including players to watch, key position battles and the biggest questions surrounding the Sooners as preseason practice approaches.
