This is the second-to-last week of visits before Feb. 3 National Signing Day and the final-hour chaos is starting to take place. Visit destinations are changing and new targets are being added by the second. Here’s a look at what each SEC team will be expecting this weekend.
Alabama
It’s five-star weekend at the Capstone with more than 20 visitors scheduled to come through the campus at Tuscaloosa this weekend. The five-star prospects visiting include athlete Mecole Hardman Jr., defensive end Jeffrey Simmons, linebacker Mique Juarez, wide receiver Demetris Robertson and in-state linebackers Lyndell “Mack” Wilson and Ben Davis, who was originally scheduled to visit Auburn this weekend.

Auburn
The Tigers’ coaching staff gets their shot four-star offensive lineman E.J. Price this weekend. Three-star commit Marlon Character will also be taking his official. Five-star linebacker Ben Davis is visiting Alabama this weekend but Auburn is expecting to get the in-state prospect on campus next weekend and made an in-home visit this weekend.

Arkansas
The Razorbacks will host five-star cornerback Kristian Fulton, four-star cornerback Eric Cuffee and four-star wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland.
Florida
The Gators will try to get commitments from four-star teammates Nick Eubanks and Brian Burns. Four-star commits Shavar Manuel and Antonneous Clayton will also visit the Swamp.
Georgia
Five-star defensive tackle Derrick Brown is already thought to be a Georgia lean and this weekend the Bulldogs’ staff will try to close the show. Also four-star offensive lineman Patrick Hudson, a Baylor commit, will be on campus. Keep an eye on that situation.
Kentucky
Junior college defensive tackle J.J. Holmes is ready to visit Lexington. His former teammate at Holmes C.C., Tate Leavitt, is already enrolled at Kentucky. Three-star athlete TaDarryl Marshall is on campus and a commitment watch for the Wildcats.
Lol I've never seen so much snow!! Made it to Lexington!

LSU
It’s already been a great recruiting week for LSU with back-to-back commitments from four-star offensive lineman Willie Allen and five-star defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence, pushing the Tigers back to No. 1 in the rankings.

With four-star cornerback Trayvon Mullen, offensive lineman Jauan Williams and safety Deontay Anderson visiting the Tigers will try to keep the momentum going
Mississippi State
The Bulldogs’ staff will put the press on three-star wide receiver Jamal Couch, a former Florida State commit. Three-star offensive tackle Stewart Reese is a late addition to the official visitors’ list and Mississippi State could make a big push.
Missouri
Three-star quarterback Micah Wilson couldn’t wait to get to his official before making a commitment.
I just committed to MIZZOU! All glory to God! I've always wanted to be a Tiger! 🐯🐯 #MIZ pic.twitter.com/XcXbP4N4pR

JuCo offensive tackle Breontae Matthews is also visiting Missouri this weekend and has the Tigers in his final four. JuCo running back Justin Crawford is taking the first and two SEC visits this weekend (South Carolina visit is scheduled for Jan. 29).
Ole Miss
The Rebels’ staff is trying to add wide receivers to this top 10 class and is scheduled to host two four-star prospects: Tre Nixon and Quartney Davis.
South Carolina
The Gamecocks secured a late weekend/early mid-week visit from four-star offensive lineman Karamo Dioubate. Dioubate will visit Michigan State for the first part of this weekend. Commitment watch for four-star juco running back Tyren Jones while he is on campus this weekend.
Tennessee
A fairly quiet weekend for Volunteers coaches, but three-star wide receiver Latrell Williams, who committed to Miami this week, has decided to go through with his official visit to Knoxville.
Texas A&M
Ten of the 18 scheduled official visitors are commitments, so this weekend will be a reunion of sorts. And that doesn’t include a likely unofficial visit by new quarterback commit Nick Starkel. Other visitors include four-star defensive tackle D’Andre Christmas-Giles and LSU commit Andraez Williams.
About to head to Texas A&M for this official visit🔥 #GigEm

Vanderbilt
Vandy’s staff will host 13 with 11 being verbal commitments. The two uncommitted prospects, three-star tight end Kelvin Lucky and three-star linebacker Andre Mintze, should both be on commitment watch.
Can't wait to get down Nashville this weekend!
