WHOA! JD Pickell Makes His SHOCKING SEC Picks for 2026 | More SEC Courtroom Drama | Top 100 Players

The SEC continues to face legal turmoil as a Texas judge grants over 40 players—some NFL rookies—a temporary reprieve in the ongoing pro player eligibility battle.

Chris Gordy is joined by On3’s JD Pickell to break down the fallout for SEC programs, heated debates around Lane Kiffin and LSU’s aggressive portal moves, and the mounting pressure on Steve Sarkisian at Texas amid “all-in” expectations. And Pickell makes his shocking picks for play for the SEC Championship. And he has an SEC team in the Natty. The Locked On Top 100 players list spotlights standouts like Dylan Stewart, Arch Manning, Kewan Lacy, and Trinidad Chambliss. Plus, who are the SEC’s most intriguing new quarterbacks and which fresh head coaches—Lane Kiffin at LSU or Alex Golesh at Auburn—are primed to make immediate noise?
