Big 12, SEC Teams Convene Media Days in Texas, Georgia

The 2025 Big 12 Media Days, held at The Star in Frisco, Texas, will feature prominent appearances from several key football programs, including Colorado, Kansas, Baylor, and Iowa State. Colorado's head coach Deion Sanders, who is dealing with an undisclosed health issue, is expected to attend alongside five players, including quarterbacks Kaidon Salter and Julian Lewis competing for the starting role. Kansas Jayhawks coach Lance Leipold faces questions about managing the running back room following Devin Neal's departure, the recovery status of quarterback Jalon Daniels, and improving late-game performance after several fourth-quarter losses last season. Baylor will be represented by head coach Dave Aranda and standout players like quarterback Sawyer Robertson, who impressed last season despite an ankle injury, and receiver Josh Cameron, both key to Baylor's high expectations for 2025. Iowa State also views the Media Days as a vital platform for players and coach Matt Campbell to address team readiness and strategy, while the Southeastern Conference Media Days in Atlanta will spotlight programs like Texas, with quarterback Arch Manning expected to attend. These events mark the official kickoff of the 2025 college football season, offering insights into team dynamics, player health, and coaching strategies across major conferences.
