2022 recruiting rankings for current and future SEC schools heading into the new year
The 2021 year is coming to an end which means the College Football Playoffs and remaining bowl games are upon us. It also means the push for the February signing day will be here before you know.
Currently, the Texas A&M Aggies, Alabama Crimson Tide, and Georgia Bulldogs are jockeying for the top spot for the top recruiting class. Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies currently hold that honor for the time being.
New head coaches Brian Kelly (LSU Tigers) and Billy Napier (Florida Gators) are further back on the list. During a transition class, it can prove to be a bit more of an arduous task. Both teams are sitting in the bottom half of the SEC in terms of their ranking.
Future SEC teams with the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns have done well in their classes, but where do they rank among their future conference teams?
