1 of the teams ranked from 21-25 in the preseason AP Poll
3 teams not ranked at all in the preseason AP Poll

BONUS: Why Austin Siereveld Was Okay With Moving Back To Guard Aug 28, 2026

Show notes

Austin Siereveld was a second-team all-conference player at left tackle in 2025, and so it would have been perfectly reasonable to expect him to play another year on the blind side this fall. But from all indications, he's going to be moving to right guard for 2026.
Initially, Siereveld wasn't necessarily thrilled about the move, so what changed that got him on board with the move?
In this special bonus episode, you'll hear the answer to that and much more directly from Siereveld.

BONUS: Why Chris Henry, Jr. and Brock Boyd Are Freshman Standouts Aug 28, 2026
