Judging the SEC tight ends in 2015 is not an easy evaluation.

Some are really good receivers who thrive in a team’s passing attack. Some are really good blockers who bolster their squad’s ground game. Finding a tight end who excels at both skills is hard, but there are some in the SEC who look like they will be playing on Sundays pretty soon.

It’s interesting to note is that just two seniors made our top 5 list. All three draft-eligible juniors — O.J. Howard, Evan Engram and Hunter Henry — probably will enter the NFL Draft. But even though Arkansas may lose Henry, the Razorbacks have a really good player waiting to take over in Jeremy Sprinkle. Now if they could only find replacements for QB Brandon Allen and running backs Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams, they’d be in even better shape.

Here are the top 5 SEC tight ends in 2015:

5. O.J. Howard, Alabama: The 6-6, 242-pounder from Pratville, Ala., has 30 catches for 335 yards this season — both career highs — but the junior still hasn’t scored since making 2 TD catches as a freshman. That’s probably because he’s also part of the same offense that features Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry and fantastic freshman receiver Calvin Ridley. Because of Howard’s size, it’s surprising that he’s not a better blocker, but he could become much more of a pass-catching target whenever he reaches the NFL.

4. Jake McGee, Florida: The Gators’ passing attack suffered after QB Will Grier was suspended for the season for a PED violation, but McGee definitely wasn’t the reason. The transfer from Virginia is tied wideout Antonio Callaway for the team lead with 4 TD receptions and is second behind receiver Demarcus Robinson with 41 catches entering Florida’s Citrus Bowl matchup with Michigan on New Year’s Day. His blocking has also helped Kelvin Taylor rush for 13 touchdowns and nearly 1,000 yards, and the senior’s 6-6, 249-pound frame makes him a good fit for the next level.

3. Jerell Adams, South Carolina: The third straight 6-6 player on our list had a career year in 2015 with career highs in catches (28), yards (421) and receiving TDs (3) and finished second to only teammate and all-SEC selection Pharoh Cooper in all three categories. Behind Adams’ blocks, Lorenzo Nunez — one of 6 Gamecocks to take snaps at QB — gained a team-leading 6.4 yards per carry. At 231 yards, Adams seems a little small, but he’ll be even more dangerous when he packs on some pounds in the pros.

2. Evan Engram, Ole Miss: The smallest player on our list at 6-3 and 227 pounds, Engram makes up for his lack of his size with his speed, which has allowed him to make 32 catches for 368 yards and 2 TDs. Despite those numbers, the junior is not the best route runner in the world, but he is a good blocker on running plays and screen passes. He and Chad Kelly would be the SEC’s top QB-tight end tandem in 2016 should both stay in school, so try to catch them in the Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma State on New Year’s Day before it’s too late.

1. Hunter Henry, Arkansas: Where do we begin regarding the player who could be the first tight end taken in next year’s NFL draft? Henry has great hands — as evidenced by his 3 TD catches among his 46 receptions for 647 yards, the latter two numbers leading all conference tight ends. But the 6-5, 253-pound junior out of Little Rock, who has not allowed a sack or a QB hurry this season, is clearly a great blocker, too. On top of that, this year’s winner of the Mackey Award, which is given to the best player in the nation at his position, has yet to drop a pass this season, which makes Henry hands down the best tight end in the SEC.
