What the list says

The SEC owns this list with 9 of the top 25. If you're recruiting against the conference, you're recruiting against the position's deepest pool.

15 of the top 25 are seniors. Most of this list disappears in 12 months, so if you're recruiting toward the position, target your Year 1 class for replacements — don't expect to inherit a starter.
