Wednesday was JUCO National Signing Day across college football, and as expected the SEC remained a dominant force on the recruiting trail.

Seven of the top 10 junior college prospects (according to the 247Sports composite rankings) signed with SEC schools, including each of 247’s top five prospects.

Here’s a rundown of the top 10 junior college signees from around the SEC this recruiting season:

(NOTE: These are the top 10 signees, which does not include commitments. Unless a player put pen to paper on a letter of intent, he was not considered for these rankings, no matter how much of a “sure thing” his commitment is.)

10. JUSTIN EVANS, TEXAS A&M

Position: S
Junior college: Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College
Outlook: Evans headlines a class of three JUCO signees at Texas A&M, and 247’s No. 2 junior college safety could make an immediate impact opposite 2014 freshman Armani Watts in the Aggies secondary. Texas A&M left plenty of room for improvement on defense last season, and it still hasn’t found a new defensive coordinator to replace ex-coordinator Mark Snyder, who was fired last month. The lack of a coordinator makes it difficult to gauge how much Evans will see the field in 2015, but his impressive instincts in pass coverage should translate well to the FBS level.

9. JEREMY CUTRER, LSU

Position: CB
Junior college: Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College
Outlook: Cutrer signed with LSU in 2013 but wasn’t deemed academically eligible. Two years later, he signed with LSU again after improving his grades during two years of community college. This is not uncommon among junior college prospects, but it is uncommon for a Les Mles program. Cutrer is the first player in the Miles era to sign with LSU out of high school and then again as a JUCO prospect, showing just how much Miles and his staff value Cutrer’s abilities as a cornerback. The Tigers are a young team still improving every day, and Cutrer could become a part of that growing process quickly, especially if Jalen Mills decides to declare for the NFL.

8. TONY BRIDGES, OLE MISS

Position: CB
Junior college: Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College
Outlook: Bridges is the best junior college cornerback in this year’s class, and he’ll arrive at Ole Miss just in time to take over for departing All-American defensive backs Senquez Golson and Cody Prewitt on next year’s defense. The four-star corner learned his craft while facing some of the best JUCO wideouts in the nation last season, and that should pay off in a big way when next season begins. Bridges joins an Ole Miss secondary loaded with young talent, but he’ll be expected to make a contribution right away on one of the best defenses.

7. DONALD GRAY, MISSISSIPPI STATE

Position: WR
Junior college: Copiah-Lincoln (Miss.) Community College
Outlook: Gray is a big-play threat on the outside, and could emerge as Jameon Lewis’ replacement in the starting lineup opposite De’Runnya Wilson. He averaged nearly 18 yards per catch and more than 117 yards per game last season, and will now enter an MSU offense poised to return just two wideouts with at least 20 catches last season. Mississippi State still doesn’t know if quarterback Dak Prescott will be back in Starkville next year, but Gray has the ability to turn bad plays into big gainers and could help the Bulldogs offense hit another gear in 2015.

6. JASON SMITH, AUBURN

Position: ATH
Junior college: Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College
Outlook: Smith is frighteningly explosive, and should be a great fit in Gus Malzahn’s spread rushing attack once Malzahn and his staff figure out how they want to use the four-star athlete. The MGCCC star has been told he’ll have a chance to play quarterback in the same offense that propelled former defensive back Nick Marshall to stardom as a signal caller (he played quarterback in 2014 and completed 62 percent of his passes for 1,500 yards, 18 touchdowns and two picks). However, with Jeremy Johnson likely taking over at that position, Smith may be shifted to wide receiver, where he would see the field more often and put better use to his impressive speed and ability to change directions.

5. MARTINAS RANKIN, MISSISSIPPI STATE

Position: OT
Junior college: Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College
Outlook: The Bulldogs needed to supplement their offensive line following the departures of three starting linemen from this year’s team, and the addition of Rankin certainly helps. The four-star prospect will have a chance to step in and immediately make an impact on the Mississippi State offense, which might be why he chose MSU over competitors like Ole Miss, Oklahoma and Florida, to name a few. He’ll face a learning curve as he adjusts to the speed of SEC defenders, but he has the build and the natural abilities to be a dominant force in the SEC West the next two years.

4. ALVIN KAMARA, TENNESSEE

Position: RB
Junior college: Hutchinson Community College
Outlook: Tennessee continues to stockpile talent at the skill positions on offense with the signing of Kamara, a four-star prospect with tremendous upside. Kamara has the ability to make defenders miss in a number of ways, be it through quick cuts or broken tackles, and although he’s not the fastest back in this year’s class he makes up for it with great acceleration and fantastic field vision. Kamara sees plays develop and holes open better than most comparable backs, and his ability to go from a standstill to full speed makes him a dangerous weapon.

3. D.J. JONES, OLE MISS

Position: DT
Junior college: East Mississippi Community College
Outlook: Jones is a physical nightmare who will now join one of the nation’s best defenses from 2014. The Rebels will lose a lot of talented seniors from last year’s defense, but it returns both its starting defensive tackles (Robert Nkemdiche and Issac Gross), which could limit Jones’ playing time in 2015. Nevertheless, the Rebels just improved at a position they already considered a strength, and when Jones gives either Nkemdiche or Gross a rest next season he’ll wreak havoc on opposing interior lineman.

2. MARQUAVIUS LEWIS, SOUTH CAROLINA

Position: DE
Junior college: Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College
Outlook: Lewis remains South Carolina’s prize recruit, especially following decommitments from a number of touted prospects, including cornerback Mark Fields. He’ll be tasked with improving a Gamecocks defensive line that seemed almost nonexistent in 2014, ranking near the bottom of the nation in most areas. The nation’s top defensive JUCO prospect was virtually unstoppable last season, recording 61 tackles and 7.5 sacks in 12 games while facing a double team on almost every snap. If he can pose a threat off the edge next season, it could ignite a pass rush South Carolina sorely missed in 2014, and it could open up opportunities for Lewis’ new teammates as well if he begins to warrant the same double teams he faced in junior college.

1. JOVON ROBINSON, AUBURN

Position: RB
Junior college: Georgia Military College
Outlook: Robinson, 247’s lone five-star junior college prospect, has already graduated from Georgia Military College and has begun practicing with the Tigers as they prepare for their bowl game later this month. The top-rated JUCO prospect in the nation will enroll at AU next month and beginning taking classes, and he’ll have the opportunity to go through spring practice with his new team, increasing the likelihood he serves as an impact player in 2015. Malzahn’s spread rushing attack favors Robinson’s fast, elusive running style, and with the SEC’s leading rusher, Cameron Artis-Payne, exiting the program there should be plenty of opportunities for Robinson to see the field in 2015.
