Mya Brandon Named SEC Offensive Player of the Week After Draw With Tennessee.

The Southeastern Conference announced on Monday that No. 16 Texas soccer's Mya Brandon has been named SEC Offensive Player of the Week.

The honor comes after Brandon, a sophomore from Canton, Michigan, scored her first goal in a Texas uniform late last week. It was also the program's first point in SEC play under head coach Margueritte Bates. Brandon didn't stop there, setting up Ashlyn Anderson's go-ahead goal in the same match.

Despite the strong individual showing, Texas couldn't hold on for the win, with the match against Tennessee finishing in a 2-2 draw.

Brandon becomes the second Longhorn to pick up an SEC weekly award in 2026, a sign that Texas is starting to find some individual bright spots even as results in conference play remain a work in progress.
