The Aztecs football program hosts media on July 24, 2026 to introduce coaches and players and preview its first season as members of the Pac-12. Steve Perez starts out coverage of the proceedings with thoughts from Director of Athletics John David Wicker and Head Coach Sean Lewis as the team wraps up off-season conditioning and points toward fall camp in early August. Both, quite naturally, are expecting to contend for the honor of hoisting the Pac-12 trophy at season’s end.
