Razorback Report: SEC Preseason soccer watchlist announced

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — No. 6 Arkansas will open its 2025 season in less than 48 hours when the Razorbacks host No. 13 Iowa on Thursday.

Arkansas will be gunning for its first-ever SEC championship and is one of the favorites to win it this season. The Razorbacks have the highest preseason ranking amongst the SEC teams. No. 17 Vanderbilt, No. 19 Texas, No. 20 Mississippi State and No. 21 South Carolina are also ranked in the preseason Top 25.

On Tuesday, the SEC announced its 100-player preseason watchlist that included seven Arkansas Razorbacks: Erin Bailey, Kennedy Ball, Bella Field, Mak Malham, Keegan Smith, Zoe Susi and Avery Wren.

Despite being the highest-ranked team in the conference, Arkansas did not have the most players on the list. That honor goes to Florida and Texas, which each had 10 players named to the list.

Thursday’s game between No. 6 Arkansas and No. 13 Iowa is scheduled to being at 6:30 p.m.

Here’s the full list of players named to the preseason watchlist:
