Ahead of media day, the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) released the 2025 All-SWAC preseason selections.

Morgan had an outstanding season as the starting quarterback for the Jackson State Tigers, leading the team to a SWAC Championship and a Celebration Bowl victory. During the 2024 season, Morgan completed 150 of 234 passes for 2,051 yards across 13 games, finishing with an impressive 10-1 record as a starter.
Meanwhile, Given was a standout on a Southern University team that defied expectations and won the SWAC West en route to competing against Jackson State in the SWAC Championship.
