Sam Houston head coach Phil Longo was observed preparing for drills during practice, following media day and the team's first practice session.

Expectations for Sam Houston's 2025 football season are being discussed, particularly in light of their successful 10-3 record and R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl victory in the previous season.
