Each year, SEC teams undergo a myriad changes. New recruiting classes arrive, players leave for the NFL and others depart for different reasons.

A non-friendly depth chart could entice a player to try his luck with another program and request a transfer. Poor decisions might force a coach’s hand and lead him to cut an expected contributor.

Whatever the reason, roster change is a part of college football. We’ve compiled a list of the top former SEC players who are still eligible to play in 2016 or beyond, but will be doing so elsewhere.

Here is the 2016 All-SEC-No-Longer-Here team:

QB – Will Grier, Florida

As a redshirt freshman, Will Grier helped Florida and new coach Jim McElwain race to surprising 6-0 start. While many expected the Gators to struggle offensively, Grier shone as the team’s quarterback, completing 65.8 percent of his passes for 1,204 yards and 10 touchdowns with only three interceptions.

Grier was suspended Oct. 12 for testing positive for a performing-enhancing substance and ultimately ruled out for the part of the 2016 season, too. In December, Grier announced he was transferring and decided to join West Virginia, where the coaching staff is hopeful he will be allowed to play in 2017.

Other player to consider: Kyle Allen, Texas A&M

RB – Jovon Robinson, Auburn

In a surprising move, senior running back Jovon Robinson was kicked off of Auburn’s team for reportedly missing classes and meetings. Expected to be the Tigers’ starting running back this season, Robinson’s dismissal leaves them thin at the position. The 6-foot, 219-pound back came on strong down the stretch, rushing for 619 yards and three touchdowns in the final six games last season. He will transfer to Valdosta State for 2016 and will be available to play this year.

Other player to consider: I’Tavius Mathers, Ole Miss

WR – LaQuvionte Gonzalez, TAMU

A wide receiver for the Aggies from 2013-14, LaQuvionte Gonzalez announced he was transferring from Texas A&M in 2015. Now at Kansas, Gonzalez has made a splash with his new team. In the Jayhawks’ spring game, he caught six passes for 115 yards, including a 61-yard touchdown, according to kusports.com. In his only two seasons at Texas A&M, Gonzalez grabbed 26 passes for 317 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Other player to consider: Avery Peterson, LSU

TE – Daniel Imatorbhebhe, Florida

This selection is all about expectations. After spending one spring with the Gators, where he was expected to make an early impact, sophomore tight end Daniel Imatorbhebhe transferred to play at Southern Cal. A 4-star recruit and McElwain’s first commitment as the Gators’ coach, Imatorbhebhe enrolled early with Florida in 2015, but announced his decision to leave before the season arrived. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound tight end is a player capable of making an impact at USC.

OL – Jeremiah Stuckey, Texas A&M

Another SEC transfer heading out west, Jeremiah Stuckey will join Cal as a graduate transfer for the 2016 season. The former Aggie played in 14 games over three years, including five starts last season. The 6-foot-4, 305-pound lineman grew up in California and is returning close to home for his final season, where he figures to receive plenty of playing time.

Other player to consider: Jordan Diamond, Auburn

DL – Elijah Daniel, Auburn

Elijah Daniel is a repeat example of an Auburn player who was expected to make an impact, only to be kicked off of the team before doing so. During his first two seasons on the Plains, Daniel played in every game for the Tigers with 24 tackles and 3.5 sacks. He was kicked off of the team in 2015 following an arrest for theft. Now at Murray State, the 6-foot-2, 282-pound defensive end is getting the opportunity to play football again.

Other player to consider: Dee Liner, Alabama

LB – Tim Kimbrough Jr., UGA

The most recent member of this list, Georgia announced Tim Kimbrough was leaving the program two weeks into fall camp. Kimbrough, a rising senior, was the team’s top returning tackler from 2015 when he registered 67 tackles, third-most among UGA defenders. Coaching changes appeared to push Kimbrough down the depth chart, however, as he was working with the second- and third-team units this fall. It remains to be seen where Kimbrough will end up, but he is a talented player and capable of making any defense better.

Other player to consider: Marcquis Roberts, South Carolina

DB – Josh Harvey-Clemons, UGA

Opting to hold off entering the NFL Draft and return to Louisville for his senior season earned Josh Harvey-Clemons a place on this list. A former 5-star recruit for Georgia, Harvey-Clemons has had a nice college career with the Bulldogs and the Cardinals. During his freshman and sophomore seasons at UGA, Harvey-Clemons registered 77 tackles three fumble recoveries and one interception. But he will likely always be remembered for his part in “The Miracle on the Plains” play. In his first season at Louisville, the safety notched 88 tackles and three interceptions, earning third-team All-ACC honors.

Other player to consider: Al Harris Jr., South Carolina
