TAKEAWAYS: Alabama’s Amari Cooper is the SEC’s only returning receiver this season with more than 100 career catches … At Arkansas, several players will be competing for catches after the departure of leading wideout Javontee Herndon, but it’s tight end Hunter Henry who will likely lead the Razorbacks in overall production … Malcome Kennedy hasn’t received much attention this offseason in College Station thanks to Ricky Seals-Jones and Speedy Noil, but expect the Aggies’ most veteran pass-catcher to nearly equal his previous career total output … South Carolina’s Shaq Roland isn’t the Gamecocks’ career leader in yards, catches or touchdowns for returning players (Damiere Byrd: 48-957-7), but he’s widely-considered Dylan Thompson’s No. 1 option as a breakout SEC player heading into the opener against Texas A&M …
