Considering the SEC’s best quarterbacks heading into the season are mostly of the dual-threat variety, ranking the league’s five best pro-style passers out of the remaining players was a bit of a challenge.

We haven’t seen enough of Mississippi’s Ryan Buchanan or Chad Kelly to include either one of those guys in an accurate projection and Kentucky’s Patrick Towles falls into the ‘tweener’ category as a pocket-passer who can run.

Florida’s Will Grier has a rocket for an arm, but his missiles haven’t launched yet against a live SEC defense.

Here’s a few guys we deem reliable as pro-style options heading into the 2015 campaign:

5. Connor Mitch, South Carolina: Mitch is a third-year sophomore battling for the starting gig, much like Buchanan at Ole Miss. Mitch however has the clear edge in his competition against former walk-on Perry Orth, Michael Scarnecchia and incoming freshman Lorenzo Nunez whereas Buchanan’s battling a talented JUCO transfer looking to play immediately. Mitch knows the Gamecocks’ offense and handled it well during the spring game, but Steve Spurrier claims all three of his passers are on equal footing. Mitch will be the guy for South Carolina and if the Gamecocks have any shot in the East, winning will be on his shoulders.

4. Jake Coker, Alabama: If Coker doesn’t win the Crimson Tide’s quarterback competition in August, he’s o-for-3 in that regard since signing with Florida State as a touted prep passer. Coker has the skill-set to be a factor in the SEC, but a lack of consistency has kept him away from first-team duties at Alabama. The 6-foot-5, 232-pound senior has three months this summer to alter his fortunes before he’s known as a career backup.

3. Brice Ramsey, Georgia: Hutson Mason’s primary backup last season, Ramsey appears ready to lead the Bulldogs offense in its hunt for an Eastern Division title. He completed passes at every level of the defense during the spring game and has a knack for out routes to the sideline. It would be unfair however not to mention teammate Faton Bauta in this spot as well, since he too has a great shot at earning Georgia’s starting job.

2. Brandon Allen, Arkansas: Entering his third year as a starter for the Razorbacks, Allen posted a fantastic 4:1 touchdown to interception ratio last season, exceeding expectations in Bret Bielema’s offense after once being labeled a liability from the pocket. There were a few throws he’d like to have back, but Allen no longer made the cataclysmic mistake and keep Arkansas on the field on third down. The plan is for the Razorbacks to utilize his arm even more this season which should increase Allen’s touchdown total.

1. Kyle Allen, Texas A&M: The Aggies’ offense could very well belong to Allen for the next three seasons if incoming five-star quarterback Kyler Murray signs a professional baseball contract this summer. Allen is accurate with the football, developed into a confident player during the second half of his freshman season and knows the intricacies the position as a former five-star signee. Don’t be surprised when Allen leads the SEC in passing yards and touchdowns this season on the league’s top-ranked passing offense.
