The Eastern Division has Nick Chubb, Derek Barnett and other headliners this season, but it’s those under-the-radar guys who are the key components in dethroning the West in the league championship game.

On Tuesday, we’ll introduce you to 10 players in the SEC West that will make a substantial impact in college football’s toughest division this season.

10 Eastern Division players you should meet for 2015

10. Steven Scheu, Sr., TE, Vanderbilt: The Commodores’ offensive struggles last season were well-documented, but this 6-foot-5, 250-pound target was one of the division’s most efficient tight ends and gave Vanderbilt some stability on third down. Scheu scored four touchdowns, averaged 13.5 yards per catch and caught a team-best 39 passes. Expect even better production in his final campaign.

9. Drew Barker, RS Frosh., QB, Kentucky: He’s not going to be the Wildcats’ Week 1 starter this season, but expect one of the gems of Kentucky’s 2014 signing class to see the field this fall if Patrick Towles struggles with consistency. He would’ve replaced Towles during a downward spiral over the second half of the season last fall, but Mark Stoops refrained from burning his redshirt. Barker’s not as big as Towles (6-foot-5, 241 pounds) and doesn’t possess the rushing strength, but the former blue-chip prospect has improved substantially with a year under his belt and fits first-year OC Shannon Dawson’s pocket-passer preference.

8. Marquavius Lewis, Jr., DL, South Carolina: The Gamecocks’ defensive MVP of the spring brings a tenacious edge sorely missed up front last fall. The nation’s top-rated JUCO pass rusher has already ascended the depth chart and set a personal goal of 10 or more sacks during his first season. Expect Lewis to develop into South Carolina’s most complete player in the trenches by October.

7. Alex Anzalone, Jr., LB, Florida: Performing in relief of Jarrad Davis and Antonio Morrison in the middle of Geoff Collins’ defense this spring, Anzalone didn’t have the look of a career backup linebacker. He has progressed into a far superior option, a vocal leader at a position of need. Known mainly for his effort on special teams thus far in Gainesville, Anzalone will be a factor on the Gators’ defense this fall and could find himself playing mostly first-team reps if Davis or Morrison isn’t ready for the opener.

6. Jeb Blazevich, Soph., TE, Georgia: What will it take for tight end to be shown any love during the preseason? Georgia’s newcomer of the year last fall hasn’t been mentioned for the most part this spring despite making 10 consecutive starts — with success — as a true freshman. By season’s end, this kid could be a Mackey Award finalist if Brian Schottenheimer continues a Georgia tradition of incorporating massive tight ends into the Bulldogs’ passing scheme.

5. Nate Brown, Soph., WR, Mizzou: Maty Mauk’s wide receivers struggled as a unit this spring, but much of that had to do with arguably the group’s best athlete being hampered by a knee sprain. One of only four true freshmen to see playing time last season, Brown takes over the slot position this season on an offense forced to replace its three leading options in the passing game — Bud Sasser, Jimmie Hunt and Darius White. Brown has 1,000-yard potential if he stays healthy.

4. Alex McCalister, Jr., DL, Florida: In three years on campus, the Gators have transformed McCalister from a wiry, 6-foot-6 basketball prospect into a pass rushing force with increased strength and above-average quickness. Following the departure of Dante Fowler, McCalister steps into a substantial role up front for the first time in his career this fall as an athlete Geoff Collins is counting on to lead by example alongside Jonathan Bullard in the trenches.

3. Alvin Kamara, Jr., RB, Tennessee: The Eastern Division’s top incoming JUCO player on offense gives the Vols an immediate — and explosive — safety blanket alongside standout sophomore Jalen Hurd, a player poised for a 1,000-yard season. Kamara had an excellent spring as an early enrollee and now that Tennessee has two valid options in the backfield, the running game will alleviate some of the pressure off junior quarterback Joshua Dobbs as the Vols try and tackle preseason expectations.

2. Isaiah Johnson, Sr., DB, South Carolina: While it was obvious the Gamecocks needed immediate pass-rush help, South Carolina’s best offseason acquisition may have been Johnson, an instant starter at safety in a youth-laden secondary. This multi-year starter at Kansas graduated early and wanted to play his final fifth season of eligibility elsewhere. The North Carolina native earned Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year honors in 2013 after single seasons at at Western Carolina and Iowa Western C.C.

1. Terry Godwin, Frosh., ATH, Georgia: It doesn’t matter where Mark Richt places this five-star 2015 signee in the fall, he’s going to make an instant impact as a playmaker. The Atlanta Braves have taken an interest in his speed and athletic ability, but thankfully for the Bulldogs, Godwin isn’t expected to be a MLB draft casualty later this week. Godwin chose not to enroll early like eight others and arrives in Athens today. Naturally gifted, Godwin’s skills in coverage could bolster a young, but talented secondary or he may be utilized as another weapon on offense.
