When 5-star prospects join their recruiting class, they are expected to produce immediate results.

In the 2016 recruiting cycle, the SEC signed 14 5-star prospects, according to 247sports.com’s composite rankings.

We know how they were ranked coming into the league. This is how we’d re-rank them after Year 1:

14. Ben Davis, Alabama, Inside Linebacker, No. 5 in SEC: The No. 10 overall prospect in the 2016 class hasn’t seen the field just yet, after taking a redshirt for the 2016 season. This is understandable due to Alabama’s depth.  With great size and intangibles, Davis could be a huge factor for the 2017, as he could pair up with fellow Alabama 5-star linebacker signee Mack Wilson to patrol the Crimson Tide.

13. Mecole Hardman Jr., Georgia, Athlete, No. 7 in SEC: Hardman was the No. 1-ranked athlete in the 2016 class (No. 13 player overall) but didn’t make much of an impact. The freshman made an appearance for the Dawgs against Missouri, Florida, and contributed on special teams against Louisiana-Lafayette with one punt return for 17 yards. He’ll have a chance to climb on this list in 2017.

12. Kristian Fulton, LSU, Cornerback, No. 12 in SEC: Fulton, No. 21 overall in the 2016 cycle, didn’t contribute much, only playing in 3 games for the Tigers, making just 2 tackles. LSU is retooling its secondary, and he’ll compete for the starting job next season, especially with the departure of cornerback Tre’Davious White.

11. Mack Wilson, Alabama, Outside Linebacker, No. 8 in SEC: The No. 15 overall player in the 2016 class appeared in 8 games for the Crimson Tide and provided most of his highlights delivering huge hits on special teams. The Alabama native recorded 8 tackles, 3 of which were solo tackles, and even showed his ability to catch a 1-yard touchdown against Kent State. He and Davis represent the the next wave.

10. Rashard Lawrence, LSU, Defensive Tackle, No. 13 in SEC: Lawrence, No. 23 in the 2016 class, appeared in 9 games for the Tigers, recording 6 total tackles, 1 tackle for loss and 1 sack. With players like Davon Godchaux and Arden Key to compete against, it was clear that it would be hard for the freshman to see the field early in his first year.

9. Derrick Brown, Auburn, Defensive Tackle, No. 4 in SEC: Brown, ranked No. 9 overall, played in all 13 games for the Tigers, recording 12 tackles, two tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks.

8. McTelvin Agim, Arkansas, Defensive End, No. 10 in SEC: The No. 18 overall prospect and early-enrollee played in all 13 games, recording 27 total tackles, 8 of which were solo, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. The defensive end arrived weighing 268 pounds and finished his freshman season at 289 pounds, giving Arkansas a strong presence along the defensive line for the 2016 season.

7. Jonah Williams, Alabama, Tackle, No. 9 in SEC: The California prospect was No. 17 in the 2016 class and provided instant protection, starting 14 games at right tackle. Williams was the second true freshman tackle to start under Nick Saban when the Tide took on USC in Week 1 of the 2016 season.

6. Shea Patterson, Ole Miss, Quarterback, No. 2 in SEC: Patterson, No. 4 overall player and No. 1 rated quarterback didn’t see the field in his first nine games due to veteran quarterback Chad Kelly running the offense. In the final three games, Patterson didn’t disappoint, which should give the Ole Miss faithful something to look forward to. Patterson passed for 880 yards and 6 touchdowns and twice topped 60 yards rushing.

5. Jeffery Simmons, Mississippi State, Defensive End, No. 11 in SEC: Simmons was the No. 19 overall prospect in the 2016 class and played in the final 12 games after missing the opener due to suspension. He recorded 39 total tackles, 12 solo, with 2.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble against South Carolina in his college debut. Simmons beefed up when got on campus, gaining 33 pounds, which gave Simmons the size to compete against other SEC lines as a freshman.

4. Benito Jones, Ole Miss, Defensive Tackle, No. 14 in SEC: The No. 24 overall prospect played in 12 games last season, recording 39 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and half of a sack. He recorded 5 tackles in three games. Jones had his best game in his debut against Florida State, registering 4 tackles, including 1.5 tackles for a loss.

3. Isaac Nauta, Georgia, Tight End, No. 6 in SEC: The No. 1 tight end and No. 12 prospect overall appeared in all 13 games, reeling in 29 receptions for 361 yards and 3 touchdowns, averaging 12.45 yards per reception for Georgia. Luckily for Nauta, he has quarterback Jacob Eason at the helm and looked to be a reliable target for the future.

2. Gregory Little, Ole Miss, Offensive Tackle, No. 1 in SEC: The nations No. 3 prospect — No. 1 among the SEC’s players — provided major help along the offensive front for Hugh Freeze and the Rebels. Little was named to the Freshman All-SEC Team for the 2016 season.

1. Jacob Eason, Georgia, Quarterback, No. 3 in SEC: Eason was the No. 2-ranked quarterback in the class — No. 5 player overall — and enjoyed a largely successful freshman season.He threw for 2,430 yards with 16 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. More than the numbers, however, was the poise as Eason time and again played his best ball in the fourth quarter. He delivered a game-winning pass against Missouri and his 47-yard strike to Riley Ridley gave the Dawgs a lead against Tennessee with 10 seconds left.
