SEC Football: Every team’s best newcomer for 2020 season

With recruiting closed this cycle, here is a look at every SEC football team’s top newcomer for the approaching 2020 season.

The SEC has been the most dominant conference in college football over the past decade. That has a lot to do with the fact that they have been the most dominant recruiting conference in the country during that time as well.

Taking a look at the past ten years of recruiting, there is always some combination of Alabama, LSU, and Georgia — especially recently somewhere in the top five of recruiting rankings. That should come as no surprise since the SEC enjoys the most fertile recruiting footprint in the country.

Those grounds became even more fertile with Texas A&M joining the SEC in 2012 adding the Lone Star State to the conference. In the last few years, the Southeastern Conference has expanded its recruiting profile nationally.

Consider Tua Tagovailoa came all the way from Hawaii to play for Alabama. This season, the Crimson Tide welcome Bryce Young from California. The Georgia Bulldogs signed Kendall Milton from California as well.

Whether they’ve signed recruits from the Pac-12 footprint or their own backyard, the Southeastern Conference has brought in a bumper crop of new recruits to their respective programs once again.

This season, however, it is not only recruits that will have an impact on programs this season. Transfers will pay a huge part in the outcome of many games this year.
