We are inside 100 days from SEC kickoffs and about half that time away from training camps and our first glimpses at what the summer enrollees in the 2016 recruiting class look like.

Here is a list from Alabama to Vanderbilt of the 14 players I’m looking forward to seeing once they arrive on campus:

Lyndell “Mack” Wilson, LB, Alabama: Crimson Tide fans are expecting Wilson and fellow five-star linebacker recruit Ben Davis to be the future centerpiece of the team’s linebacking corps. As long as Wilson has recovered from shoulder surgery earlier in the spring he should be able to carve out a role on the field as a true freshman.

T.J. Hammonds, ATH, Arkansas: Hammonds could jump into the mix with fellow freshman Devwah Whaley at running back or wide receiver and should be able to find a role as a return specialist. Either way he’ll be given every opportunity to contribute.

Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn: For the second consecutive year, Auburn landed a high-profile defensive lineman on signing day. The Tigers should be very athletic up front but Brown could help fill in some of the remaining gaps with his 6-foot-3, 320-pound body. Brown was the No. 9-ranked player in the 2016 class.

Tyrie Cleveland, WR, Florida: Some already believe Cleveland is the next Christian Kirk or Calvin Ridley. I’m not ready to go there, but I will say that Florida has been looking for a No. 1 wide receiver for several years and Cleveland has the potential to be that guy. He was the No. 2-ranked receiver in the class.

Mecole Hardman Jr., ATH, Georgia: He’s a little cocky, but I like that and Georgia needs someone with that sort of mentality to usher in the Kirby Smart era. He has a chance to be good and he knows it. Defensive back? Wide receiver? Both? Hardman, the top-ranked athlete in the class, appears to be ready for whatever needs to be done.

Landon Young, OT, Kentucky: It seems like the Wildcats’ staff kept one of their tackle positions warm for Young so he can jump into the fray as soon as he gets on campus. At 6-7, 275 pounds, Young is a long-armed prospect that should give the Wildcats immediate relief up front. He may have early growing pains, but he’ll be an upgrade over the past. He was the No. 6-ranked tackle in his class.

Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU: I’m always excited to see the next crop of defensive backs at LSU because right now because the internal battles to get on the field provide some of the best competition in the nation. With Fulton and early enrollee Saivion Smith, there will be a nice mix of youth to go with the experienced LSU secondary. Fulton was the No. 2-ranked corner in the class; Smith was No. 5.

Jeffery Simmons, DT, Mississippi State: I don’t know if Simmons will make it to campus. If the video I saw is accurate I think it’s embarrassing that Mississippi State would let him enroll and play, but I wouldn’t be surprised. He’s a five-star defensive end. So I’m not necessarily looking forward to what Simmons might do on the field but rather how the university handles his arrival. Dan Mullen sounds like a coach that is hoping time will erase people’s memories of the situation.

Brendan Scales, TE, Missouri: The former Alabama commit landed in Missouri’s lap in the final weeks before signing day. He’s a big prospect (6-4, 235) who didn’t want to grayshirt at Alabama, so clearly he believes he’s ready to play now and should have that opportunity with a young Missouri offense.

A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss: Clearly five-star offensive lineman Gregory Little’s training camp will get a lot of coverage, but Brown comes into program from Starkville. And after he ripped Mississippi State for their recruitment I am willing to wait all season to see how Brown reacts … and is treated … in the Egg Bowl.

Stephon Taylor, DL, South Carolina: Will Muschamp has been recruiting Taylor since he was a freshman or sophomore and recruited him for three different schools (!!) during that span. So for Muschamp to chase Taylor from the Swamp to the Plains to Palmetto State means he thinks the talent is special. Taylor wants to prove him right and will be on the field early in his freshman season as long as he’s healthy.

Jonathan Kongbo, DE, Tennessee: The only junior college player on this list. Kongbo is expected to jump right in and give Tennessee an elite pass-rushing presence on the edge to go with Derek Barnett. At times the Volunteers missed that last year. If they want to be the best team in the SEC East, Kongbo is going to have to come in ready to compete.

Quartney Davis, WR, Texas A&M: Given what Christian Kirk did as a true freshman with the Aggies’ disruptive quarterback situation, I’m wondering whether Davis can provide similar excitement and be a nice complement to Kirk. Davis, a four-star signee, was the No. 24-ranked receiver in the class.

Jamauri Wakefield, RB, Vanderbilt: The Commodores have Ralph Webb in the featured spot already and it’s expected that Wakefield will have the opportunity to be a bigger back to spell Webb and be used in certain situations. Wakefield is 6-1, 210 pounds. A 1-2 punch in the running game would bring Vanderbilt closer to the identity that Derek Mason sees for the program.
