8. Auburn Tigers

The Auburn Tigers had some quarterback issues all season before deciding on Sean White in the second half of 2016. But their woes may be over with the arrival of quarterback Jarrett Stidham in this year’s recruiting class.

Stidham, a 6-foot-3 dual-threat quarterback, spent one season at Baylor, starting in three games, before transferring to McClennan Community College. He’s enrolled early at Auburn and will look to have them in prime position next season with their stellar running game.

The Tigers got some upgrades on the offensive line as well with commitments from offensive guard Nick Brahms and offensive tackle Calvin Ashley. Brahms is a 4-star prospect out of Navarre, Florida ranked 162 nationally. Ashley is a 5-star prospect out of Washington D.C. ranked 27th nationally, according to 247 Sports.

With the fourth best recruiting class in the SEC, the Tigers aren’t in terrible shape going forward. They have a total of 23 commitments coming next year; seven on offense, seven on defense and six special teams players.
