Congrats, SEC teams.

Y’all have your quarterbacks of the future (for now at least). We won’t see the last-minute scrambles that we saw last year at places like Alabama and LSU. Instead, we can talk about every SEC team’s incoming quarterback recruits just one week from the start of  Early Signing Period (Dec. 19-21).

Here’s one thing to know about each of them:

Taulia Tagovailoa, Alabama — You know his brother, but also …

QB ranking: No. 7

Um, you might’ve heard of his brother. He’s the guy who throws the passes with his left hand in Tuscaloosa. Taulia does that with his right hand. Very well. He rose up the recruiting rankings not just because of his brother’s rise, but because of what he’s done breaking records at Thompson High School this year. You might not have known that he was once his brother’s center back in Hawaii. Taulia thinned out and made the switch to quarterback, where he’s now thriving in a modern, spread-it-out, throw-it-all-over-the-yard system.

Paul Tyson, Alabama — You know is great-grandpa, but also…

QB ranking: No. 14

Yeah, by now everyone knows that Tyson’s great-grandfather is Paul “Bear” Bryant. People forget that it was Tyson who committed a couple weeks before the aforementioned Tagovailoa. Tyson is more of the traditional Alabama quarterback mold with his size, but he’s got a big-time arm that’ll allow him to make a name for himself at the next level. Oh, and random Alabama fans apparently like kissing him on the forehead because of his bloodlines.

KJ Jefferson, Arkansas — He just earned his fourth star

QB ranking: No. 24

An Arkansas player trending in the right direction seems like a foreign concept this days, but Jefferson just earned that coveted fourth star. He did so after a senior season in which he threw for 3,180 yards (166-of-275), ran for 916 more yards and compiled 44 total touchdowns and became North Panola High School’s (Miss.) all-time leading passer. He’ll put some immediate pressure on Connor Noland, a 4-star from 2018.

Bo Nix, Auburn — Bo knows Auburn

QB ranking: No. 2

Because his dad, Patrick Nix, helped lead Auburn to that 11-0 season back in 1993. Keeping up with the legacy theme of this year’s SEC quarterback class, the elder Nix was the most efficient passer in Auburn history when he graduated in 1995. Now coaching his son Bo at Pinson Valley High School (Ala.), the younger Nix became the state’s all-time leader in total yards this year. The nation’s top-dual threat and No. 2 overall quarterback will be a fan favorite the moment he steps on campus (via Hudl).

Jalon Jones, Florida — He’s a Dan Mullen believer

QB ranking: No. 23

Why? Jones was initially committed to leave the East Coast to play for Mullen at Mississippi State. A few months after Mullen took the job at Florida, Jones committed to the Gators. Between Jalon Jones and Emory Jones, the Gators have a pair of young, 4-star dual-threat quarterbacks whom fans will be itching to see … especially if Feleipe Franks struggles in 2019.

John Rhys Plumlee, Georgia — He’s going to stand out in the QB room

QB ranking: No. 9

For a few reasons, Plumlee is neither Jake Fromm nor Justin Fields. Plumlee wasn’t this blue-chip quarterback recruit in the same fashion that Fields and Fromm were. While Plumlee was getting offered as a receiver and a defensive back, Georgia offered him as a quarterback, which was why he committed. Plumlee, a 4-star, will also break Georgia’s trend of in-state quarterbacks signing. The Mississippi native is the No. 13 recruit in the state.

Amani Gilmore, Kentucky — He’s a Louisiana state champ

QB ranking: No. 41 (pro-style)

The southpaw just won the 2A state championship in Louisiana thanks to his 286-yard, 5-touchdown performance in the title game. The Wildcats probably could have used someone who could stretch the field like Gilmore. The kid has a cannon:

Terry Wilson might have an interesting competition on his hands with the rising incoming freshman.

Nick Scalzo, Kentucky — He tried to play through a torn ACL

QB ranking: No. 66

After tearing his ACL in the state playoffs last month, Scalzo actually stayed in the game and led Cardinal Gibbons (Fla.) on a touchdown drive (it won the game). Obviously the dual-threat quarterback isn’t lacking in toughness. He won’t be a candidate to play immediately with the injury happening so late in the 2018 season, but Scalzo will be one to watch when he gets back to healthy.

Peter Parrish, LSU — He already beat Tagovailoa

QB ranking: No. 25

The Central-Phenix City (Ala.) quarterback faced off with the aforementioned Taulia Tagovailoa in the Alabama 7A State Championship … and it wasn’t close. Parrish earned MVP honors in a 52-7 victory after racking up 178 total yards and 2 touchdowns. The 4-star dual-threat quarterback helped his team win roll to a 15-0 record for its first state title in 25 years. Perhaps that won’t be the last time Parrish and Tagovailoa face off with a title up for grabs.

Garrett Shrader, Mississippi State — Joe Moorhead won at least 1 battle against his predecessor

QB ranking: No. 13

Shrader probably became a fan favorite after he committed. Why? Besides the fact that he was a 4-star dual-threat quarterback out of Charlotte, N.C., he gave his commitment to MSU a couple weeks after getting an offer from Dan Mullen’s staff at Florida. Moorhead might not have won the battle on the field this year, but if Shrader turns out to be a multi-year starter, that victory will be that much sweeter after Mullen left Starkville. At 6-4, 215, he certainly looks the part.

Connor Bazelak, Mizzou — He has some impressive genetics

QB ranking: No. 28

Mizzou’s quarterback of the future comes from a family full of athletes. His older sisters won 5 state championships in high school, and one played basketball while the other was on the volleyball team at Duquense, and Bazelak’s dad was a 3-sport star at Xenia High School (Ohio) before playing basketball at Dartmouth. Bazelak will get to learn behind Kelly Bryant in his first year on campus.

Kinkead Dent, Ole Miss — He’s a diehard Rebel fan

QB ranking: No. 64 (pro-style)

Dent said he “bleeds blue and red” as someone who attended every Ole Miss home game that he can remember. That certainly played a part in him committing in November, despite the fact that the Rebels already had a verbal pledge from dual-threat quarterback Grant Tisdale, who is higher-ranked. Ole Miss was Dent’s only SEC offer, but Matt Luke’s offense has maximized the ability of lightly-recruited quarterbacks before.

Grant Tisdale, Ole Miss — The Allen-to-Oxford pipeline continues

QB ranking: No. 29

Tisdale went to Allen High School (Texas), the same program that produced Ole Miss standout offensive lineman Greg Little and starting cornerback Jaylon Jones. That had to play a part in the 3-star dual-threat quarterback giving his commitment to the Rebels. Tisdale won the Texas 6A State Championship as a junior, and actually turned down Urban Meyer at Ohio State to play for the Rebels.

Ryan Hilinski, South Carolina — He’s as decorated and battle-tested as they come

QB ranking: No. 3

Hilinski will begin his career in Columbia as one of the most highly-routed Gamecock recruits of the 21st century.The Orange Lutheran (Calif.) High School recruit just earned the Sam B. Nicola Award from the Touchdown Club of Columbus, which is a national player of the year honor that’s gone to the likes of Emmitt Smith, Joe Mauer and Josh Rosen. That was after a year in which he faced 5 of the top-10 ranked high school teams in 2018. He’ll be the obvious candidate to replace Jake Bentley, whenever that time is (via UTRHighlightVideos).

Brian Maurer, Tennessee — The Vols’ OC move won’t impact his commitment

QB ranking: No. 32

Well, barring some switch to the triple option. After being committed to the Vols since the summer, he briefly thought about his options when Tyson Helton left Knoxville to take over at Western Kentucky, but Maurer reaffirmed his commitment to Tennessee. That’s good news considering that at the time of this story, we don’t know who’s going to run the Vols’ offense in 2019. Maurer is set to make the trip up to Knoxville this weekend.

Zach Calzada, Texas A&M — He’s a late riser … literally

QB ranking: No. 33

Calzada went from an unranked recruit to competing at the Elite 11 Finals with the nation’s top quarterback prospects. That was after he shot up a few inches to 6-3 before his senior season. A&M offered him in May and got a commitment from him a month later, despite the fact that several other big-time offers came flooding in (including one from in-state Georgia). Calzada will be an interesting project for Jimbo Fisher.

Jamil Muhammad, Vandy — Don’t let the ATH fool you

QB ranking: No. 93 (athlete)

Muhammad is playing quarterback. He was recruited to do that and with Vanderbilt without another quarterback in its 2019 class, it seems obvious that Muhammad will fill that void. This is someone who had offers from MSU and Ole Miss early on and decided to go to Vanderbilt, where the quarterback room suddenly looks wide open in the post-Kyle Shurmur era. The 6-1, 217-pound Madison, Ala. native will get a crack at the starting gig.
