The JUCO national signing day saw more of the same for SEC teams. The programs with the most JUCO signings in recent years continued their success on Wednesday.
Ole Miss, who has consistently signed more JUCO transfers than any other SEC program, added four more signees, including No. 1 overall defensive tackle D.J. Jones, No. 1 cornerback Tony Bridges, No. 1 quarterback Chad Kelly and No. 4 OLB Terry Caldwell.
Mississippi State also continued its reliance on JUCO transfers by adding five players for 2015. The Bulldogs signed the No. 1 offensive tackle in Martinas Rankin, No. 1 wide receiver Donald Gray, four-star athlete Malik Dear, three-star athlete Deddrick Thomas and strong-side defensive end Jonathan Calvin.
Auburn signed the No. 1 overall JUCO prospect in Jovon Robinson, who looks to replace SEC leading rusher Cameron Artis-Payne. The Tigers also singed No. 1 athlete Jason Smith and three-star defensive tackle Maurice Swain.
