If rankings are any indication, the SEC over the coming years should have some of the best backs in the country. Four conference teams reeled in four of the country’s top six running backs.

Here are the SEC’s top five incoming running backs (ratings follow the 247Sports.com composite rankings).

No. 2 B.J. Emmons, Alabama (Morganton, N.C.)

The Skinny: Ranked No. 2 among all incoming backs, the 5-10, 232-pounder isn’t in the same big-back mold as Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry (6-3, 238), but he runs strong and powerful. And that’s what attracted Emmons to Alabama head coach Nick Saban and his staff. Emmons rushed for 6,573 yards and 101 touchdowns during his high school career. He averaged 12.3 yards per carry as a senior.

No. 3 Devwah Whaley, Arkansas (Beaumont, Texas)

The Skiny: Ranked No. 3 in the country in the 2016 recruiting class, Whaley (6-0, 209) should follow nicely into the Razorbacks’ bruising running game. But he has breakaway speed as well and has been clocked at 10.6 in the 100 meters. Whaley piled up 3,392 yards and 38 rushing touchdowns in his high school career. With Alex Collins leaving early for the NFL Draft, Whaley is expected to challenge early for playing time in the Arkansas backfield.

No. 5 Devin White, LSU (Springhill, La.)

The Skinny: An early enrollee, the 6-0, 258-pounder could use that time to shed a few pounds and get a head-start on learning the system. He must overcome some baggage at the college level. The Shreveport Times reported White has been arrested twice since late-November on misdemeanor charges.

Despite that, he was also recruited by SEC schools Alabama, Arkansas and Ole Miss. Obviously White will have to wait his turn behind 2016 Heisman hopeful Leonard Fournette. But Tigers coach Les Miles has shown no hesitancy in playing freshman running backs.

No. 6 Elijah Holyfield, Georgia (Atlanta, Ga.)

The Skinny: Holyfield is a powerful 5-10, 204-pounder who was hampered in his senior season with a fractured left foot. He scored 72 touchdowns (43 rush, 29 receiving) and ran for nearly 3,000 yards in three previous seasons. A likely backup to Nick Chubb and Sony Michel in the upcoming season, Holyfield could become the next big name in the Bulldogs’ backfield, although name recognition hasn’t been a problem. He is the son of former heavyweight champion boxer Evander Holyfield.

No. 12 Carlin Fils-aime, Tennessee (Naples, Fla.)

The Skinny: A versatile, 5-11, 185-pound athlete, Fils-aime rushed for 1,505 yards and 23 touchdowns in his senior year in addition to adding 375 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 14 pass receptions. He is expected to do the same for the Vols in the coming years, much in the mold of Tennessee multi-back Alvin Kamara.
