Missouri football has three players named to All-SEC preseason team | Jefferson City News-Tribune

Three Missouri Tigers were named Tuesday to the All-Southeastern Conference preseason team, which was voted on by the league's coaches.

Junior offensive lineman Cayden Green was selected to the first team, senior wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. was voted to the second team and senior safety Jalen Catalon was named on the third team.

Green, who was also selected as a second-team preseason All-American, is entering his second season at Missouri after transferring from Oklahoma.

The Lee's Summit North product started all 13 games last season at left guard, helping block for a rush attack that tallied 2,138 yards and 26 touchdowns on the ground.

Green is expected to slide over a spot and start at left tackle this season.

Coleman is entering his first season in Columbia after transferring from Mississippi State.

Coleman is no stranger to SEC honors, as he was selected as a third-team all-conference player last year for the Bulldogs after catching 74 passes for 932 yards and six touchdowns.

Missouri is Coleman's fourth stop in his collegiate career after spending one season at each Jackson State, Louisville and Mississippi State.

Coleman was the Southwestern Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year at Jackson State, then caught 26 passes for 362 yards and two scores as a sophomore at Louisville.

Catalon is also entering his first season with the Tigers for his seventh collegiate season.

Catalon spent his first four seasons at Arkansas, tallying 159 tackles and five interceptions, then spent one season at each Texas and UNLV.

Catalon matched his four-year interception total is his time with the Razorbacks in just one season with the Runnin' Rebels, grabbing five picks, including a pick-6, to go with 96 tackles and two sacks.

Green and Catalon were voted as two of the nine captains for Missouri this season by their teammates.
