Every SEC fan base is basking in the afterglow of National Signing Day, talking about all the future superstars the team just added.

We know there’s a lot of misplaced hype and false dreams, although a few dozen of these players eventually will play in the NFL, if history holds true.

Still, there are one or two players at every program that the fans should be extra excited to welcome to campus. That doesn’t mean that these are the top-rated guys or necessarily the ones that will turn out to be the best.

But it’s really easy to be thrilled about each of the following players if you’re a fan of one of these teams:

Alabama

ILB Ben Davis: He’s a legacy kid, and we all know how Tide fans feel about their (illustrious) history. He’s a five-star player who chose to stay in-state on National Signing Day. Plus, at 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, he already can knock the heck out of a ball-carrier. Reuben Foster may have some competition now for biggest hitter on the team.

Arkansas

RB Devwah Whaley: Once a Georgia commitment, Whaley also endured heavy pursuit from Texas when coach Mark Richt was dismissed. As Texas A&M and LSU learned, closing on a kid pursued by Charlie Strong in this class was no small thing. Also, Arkansas’ backfield — which looked perilous a few months ago — once again is stacked. Rawleigh Williams III looks like he’ll be able to play football again after a career-threatening neck injury. The NCAA granted Kody Walker a sixth year of eligibility. Juan Day is recovering from a torn ACL. But Whaley has a chance to be a talent on the level of Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins.

Auburn

WR Kyle Davis: The Tigers’ offense endured several unexpected issues in 2015. One of those was a lack of playmakers, especially after Duke Williams got dismissed from the team. The continued development of running back Jovon Robinson should help. But Auburn signed a trio of big-time receivers in this class. That’s a position at which SEC freshmen have proven capable of making an immediate impact. (See: Antonio Callaway, Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley last season.) Davis may be the best of the group. Auburn needs to get back to running the football first and foremost, and quarterback John Franklin III could be the guy to do it. But when the team does throw, expect Davis to be a big-time playmaker.

Florida

WR Tyrie Cleveland: The nation’s No. 2 receiver is a gem as Jim McElwain starts the process of constructing a cohesive offense. If he can play opposite Antonio Callaway as early as this fall, Florida will have a pair of playmaking receivers to help out whomever starts at quarterback. Plus, Cleveland was a late flip from Tom Herman at Houston, and fans always get excited about stealing high-profile talent around National Signing Day.

Georgia

QB Jacob Eason: Florida 27, Georgia 3. That was the score this year in Jacksonville in a game that essentially decided the SEC East. Faton Bauta started at quarterback for the Bulldogs in a bit of a desperation move by Mark Richt, Brian Schottenheimer and company. The truth is that the gap between the Gators and Bulldogs’ rosters is pretty negligent. Eason has talent. It’s a matter of time before he starts. If that’s sooner rather than later, new coach Kirby Smart may look, well, pretty smart.

Kentucky

OT Landon Young: Offensive tackles normally aren’t sexy, even five-star ones. But most SEC fan bases haven’t endured the horror show that has been Kentucky’s offensive line at times. Young, a Lexington native, is 6-foot-7 and 270 pounds, with room to add some weight. Rated as the sixth-best offensive tackle in the country, he’s good enough to compete for a starting spot probably on any SEC team, at least within a few years. If he plays to his potential, he’ll make a major impact on the UK offense.

LSU

DT Rashard Lawrence: While the quarterback position represents perhaps the greatest deficiency of this class (all due respect to Lindsey Scott) and the biggest personnel lightning rod at LSU, a lack of depth in the defensive front seven also has been glaring. This class solved that in a major way, with six defensive linemen and one linebacker, including just one three-star. Lawrence is the most touted member of that group. At 6-foot-3 and 305 pounds, he was a huge National Signing Day get for the Bengal Tigers.

Mississippi State

DE Jeffery Simmons: The Bulldogs’ National Signing Day would’ve been something close to a disaster if not for Simmons. Alabama and Ole Miss landed most of the team’s big targets, including a four-star receiver from Starkville who then criticized Mississippi State’s recruiting. But Simmons, one of 25 composite five-star players in the country, singlehandedly jolted this class from 40th to 31st. Mississippi State is losing former five-star Chris Jones to the NFL, but won’t have to wait long to replace his caliber of talent.

Missouri

DE Tre Williams: There’s been a lot of attrition within #DLineZou in the last three years. Kony Ealy and Michael Sam left. Then Shane Ray and Markus Golden left. Then Craig Kuligowski, the long-time position coach, left. Then Chris Wilson held the job for just a few weeks before the Tigers hired Jackie Shipp. Harold Brantley got into a car accident. Marcus Loud got dismissed from the team. Still, the unit contains some good talent, continuing a recent tradition. Fans will follow Williams’ development closely, and if he can become yet another prominent member of #DLineZou, he’ll be a popular player.

Ole Miss

OT Gregory Little: There are plenty of potential choices, including quarterback Shea Patterson. With Chad Kelly still a member of the team, barring injury, Patterson will have to wait until at least September 2017 to make a major impact. Little, meanwhile, has a chance to be the next Laremy Tunsil. He could be the rare first-year starter at left tackle in the SEC. And Kelly and Patterson are going to need someone to protect them.

South Carolina

QB Brandon McIlwain: There’s not a more household name within the 2016 Gamecocks class. The No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the country and an early enrollee, he has a chance to at least compete for the starting quarterback job this year. Plus, the fact that he remained at South Carolina through the coaching transition — remember, Will Muschamp and quarterbacks haven’t exactly thrived together in recent years — is an exciting sign about the potential of Muschamp in Columbia.

Tennessee

DE Jonathan Kongbo: Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze seems to have some magic recruiting dust. Originally a Tennessee commitment, Kongbo re-opened his recruitment in January, and the Rebels looked to have a great chance at flipping him. Instead, the Vols won out on National Signing Day. Vol Nation is thrilled. The No. 1 JUCO prospect in the country is headed to Knoxville, and after 11 sacks in 11 games last year for Arizona Western College, he should make an immediate impact as a pass-rusher, perhaps alongside Derek Barnett.

Texas A&M

WR Quartney Davis: The five-alarm fire remains hot coals, but it’s no longer an inferno. Getting Trevor Knight helped. In addition to the transfers of Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray away from College Station, a big deal was made about the decommitments of five-star offensive tackle Gregory Little and, yes, four-star receiver Quartney Davis. Getting him back in the fold on National Signing Day didn’t offset all the other news, including missing out on a few players to Texas. But he’s an exciting piece of this class and a reminder that all is not lost.

Vanderbilt

QB Deuce Wallace: He wasn’t the highest-rated kid in Vandy’s class. But he’s the most celebrated for several reasons. First, the Commodores now have signed solid quarterbacks in back-to-back classes. The offense has been a disaster the last two years and will take even more time to fix. But being able to groom two young signal-callers with potential is a start. Second, he’s an in-state kid, from small-town Sevierville. Finally, he’s already on campus getting acclimated, so he may be able to push Kyle Shurmur and the rest of the quarterbacks as soon as this fall.
