The period for college football coaches to visit and speak directly with recruits is open and some posturing is already underway in the SEC as teams try to lure prospects away from one another. Now that the 2015 regular season is in the books, it’s up to coaches to fill the glaring holes in their rosters that emerged over the course of the season.

Here’s a look at the SEC and the potential recruit that will come in a fix each program’s respective woes.

SEC EAST

Florida Gators

Need: Offensive Line

2016 Recruit: Brett Heggie, C, Mount Dora (Fla.) High School

Florida is in a bidding war with Georgia for five-star quarterback Jacob Eason. Even if the Gators lose out on Eason, head coach Jim McElwain has four-star commit Feleipe Franks, current starter Treon Harris and suspended starter Will Grier as viable options under center next season. Protecting the quarterback has been the issue this year, as Florida has allowed the most sacks in the SEC. The unit that started two freshman and a sophomore last week against Florida State will lose two seniors, but help is on the way with three offensive lineman in the Gators’ 25-man class of 2016. Chief among them is Brett Heggie, a three-star, Under Armour All-American who will potentially replace the graduating Trip Thurman at center. A tandem of Heggie and a young quarterback could have a good three or four years to build a lasting rapport.

Georgia Bulldogs

Need: Quarterback

2016 Recruit: Jacob Eason, QB, Lake Stevens (Wash.) High School

It’s imperative that Georgia lands Jacob Eason. The Bulldogs’ recent coaching turnover has caused the five-star recruit and Georgia commit to re-evaluate his options with an official visit to Florida this week. The Bulldogs struggled mightily at quarterback this season as Greyson Lambert never truly seized total control of the offense from Faton Bauta and Brice Ramsey. With a young and talented rushing and receiving corps expected back in 2016, whoever the new coach is in Athens will need a top-flight quarterback to live up to the program’s lofty expectations. Eason gives them that hope. Losing him to an SEC East rival would hurt.

Kentucky Wildcats

Need: Offensive Line

2016 Recruit: OT Landon Young and OG Drake Jackson

Mark Stoops hit the recruiting trail hard in search of some big bodies to open holes for his offense. The Kentucky coach landed four offensive linemen, including two four-star recruits in OT Landon Young and OG Drake Jackson, the centerpieces of his incoming 22-man class. Only Missouri surrendered more tackles-for-loss than the 7.0 TFLs the Wildcats averaged per game this season. Young and Jackson are big and physical and are both homegrown prospects. A five-game losing streak has already hurt Stoops’ recruiting as Jermaine Eskridge, a four-star wide receiver decommitted this week from the program’s 2018 class. Hanging on to Young and Jackson is imperative.

Missouri Tigers

Needs: Offensive line, quarterback, RB

2016 Recruit: Natereace Strong, RB, Hinds (Miss.) Community College

Missouri needs plenty of help in many arenas, among them at quarterback and offensive line. But the Tigers, who finished dead last in the SEC in team rushing, desperately need an every-down back and Natereace Strong could be the man to fill that role. Strong will arrive in Columbia by way of Hinds (Miss.) Community College where he’s working this year to bring his grades up. The four-star running back is considered the nation’s No. 3 JUCO player at the position. He’ll be joined by Darius Anderson, a three-star talent from Richmond, Texas, with 4.48 40-yard dash speed.

South Carolina Gamecocks

Need: Pass Rush

2016 Recruit: Jordan Smith, DE, Lithonia (Ga.) High School

South Carolina has struggled when it comes to putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks since the departure of Jadeveon Clowney after the 2013 season. Defensive end Jordan Smith is slated to fill that role, possibly depending on who the Gamecocks hire as their head coach. The four-star recruit committed to Steve Spurrier in July, but has apparently re-opened his school search, visiting Tennessee earlier in November during the Vols’ game against the Gamecocks, no less.

Tennessee Volunteers

Need: Wide Receiver

2016 Recruit: Jonathan Kongbo, DE, Arizona Western College

To heck with the wide receiver position, Tennessee just hit the defensive end jackpot in Jonathan Kongbo. The rich get richer when it comes to pass-rushing in the SEC as Tennessee lands 24/7 Sports’ No. 2 JUCO player in the nation. Kongbo is coming off a 12.0 tackle-for-loss, 9.5 sack season for Arizona Western Community College. The four-star recruit chose Butch Jones and the Vols over the likes of Alabama and Oregon, as well as Auburn, Mississippi State and Ole Miss. Teamed up with defensive end Derek Barnett, the duo could cause plenty of problem for opposing offenses next year. As for those wide receivers? Jones has a plan to bolster the unit with three three-star commitments to his 2016 class.

Vanderbilt Commodores

Need: Quarterback

2016 Recruit: Deuce Wallace, QB, Sevier County (Tenn.) High School

Deuce Wallace doesn’t just have a great name, he has a great chance of being Vanderbilt’s next quarterback — seeing that incumbents Kyle Shurmur and Johnny McCrary certainly haven’t declared the job theirs. Wallace is a three-star, pro-style quarterback who also drew interest from LSU, Mississippi State and Tennessee. He might also have to contend with a depth chart that includes Wade Freebeck, who saw limited action in 2015, and Shawn Stankavage. Wallace will certainly get a good look by Commodore head coach Derek Mason, whose squad would have finished last in the SEC in passing, had it not been for the dreadful aerial games of LSU and Missouri.

SEC WEST

Alabama Crimson Tide

Need: Quarterback

2016 Recruit: Jalen Hurts, QB, Channelview (Texas) High School

Jake Coker has been sturdy enough this season to guide Alabama into the SEC Championship and potential College Football Playoff spot. But the senior’s departure will create another logjam next season between a bevy of talented quarterbacks in Blake Barnett and Cooper Bateman, neither of whom were able to supplant Coker under center. Hurts will get a shot at the role, as the No. 3 rated dual-threat quarterback in the nation, according to 24/7 Sports.

Arkansas Razorbacks

Need: Pass Rush

2016 Recruit: McTelvin Agim, DE, Hope (Ark.) High School

The Arkansas Razorbacks need help when it comes to putting pressure on the quarterback, ranking penultimate in the SEC for team sacks this season with one more (18) than Auburn and Kentucky. Fortunately, head coach Bret Bielema has addressed the issue, bringing in three defensive lineman as the centerpiece of his 2016 class. The trio, featuring 4-star defensive tackles Austin Caps and Briston Guidry, is highlighted by defensive end McTelvin Agim, an Under Armour All-American. Agim is considered Arkansas’ first 5-star recruit since ESPN began cobble recruiting data in 2008.

Auburn Tigers

Need: Pass Rush

2016 Recruit: Marlon Davidson, DE, Greenville (Ala.) High School

Simply put, Auburn needs to do a better job at getting into opponent’s backfield. The Tigers rank last in the SEC and second-to-last in the entire nation in tackles-for-loss, dropping an average of 4.1 ball carriers behind the line of scrimmage per contest. Only Georgia Tech averages fewer. To combat the inefficiency, Gus Malzahn is bringing in 5-star defensive end Marlon Davidson. Davidson committed to Auburn in September, but is still being heavily courted by other schools, most-notably by Alabama.

LSU Tigers

Need: Quarterback

2016 Recruit: ehhh…

The LSU Tigers are without a quarterback in their 2016 recruit class, after Feleipe Franks recently decommitted from the program, eschewing Death Valley for the Florida Gators. With Jacob Eason visiting Florida this week, Franks has already voiced his displeasure with the potential glut of quarterbacks in Gainesville. The Tigers aren’t as fortunate, as Brandon Harris has underperformed since beating out Anthony Jennings for the starting role before the season. Les Miles hasn’t ruled out landing Franks just yet, taking a home visit with the Wakulla (Fla.) High Schooler this week. With one of the top recruiting classes in the nation and newfound job security, playing for LSU under Miles is certainly an attractive option.

Mississippi State Bulldogs

Need: Tight End

2016 Recruit: Dontea Jones, TE, Jireh (N.C.) Prep

Gus Walley and Darrion Hutcherson combined for 284 yards and two touchdowns (one apiece) in 2016, which is a disappointing number considering Mississippi State possessed one of the SEC’s top quarterbacks in Dak Prescott. The quarterback won’t be around next year, but Dan Mullen addressed the position with Dontea Jones. At 6-foot, 4-inches and 220 pounds, Jones’ size and hands are his biggest calling card and would give the Bulldogs offense a large and versatile target for passing catching and blocking.

Ole Miss Rebels

Need: Running Back

2016 Recruit: Justin Connor, RB, North Panola (Miss.) High School

Jaylen Walton is putting together a respectable season with 690 yards on the ground and 5 touchdowns. But it’s by far the kind of dynamic year you’d expect from a 9-3 team staring at a Sugar Bowl berth. He finished second on the team in touchdowns during the regular season, however, behind quarterback Chad Kelly, who doubled Walton up with 10 rushing scores. A dynamic running back, even to compliment Walton, could take pressure and the risk of injury off Kelly, who bulldozed his way to 427 rushing yards of his own — second highest on the team. With a lack of depth out of the Rebels’ backfield, Connor and his explosive lateral speed could make an impact immediately.

Texas A&M Aggies

Need: Offensive Line

2016 Recruit: Kellen Diesch, OL, Byron Nelson (Texas) High School

The Texas A&M offensive line struggled in 2015 as only the Florida Gators allowed more sacks than the 2.67 yielded per game by the Aggies’ front-five. Help is on the way for Kevin Sumlin’s unit in the form of Kellen Diesch. A four-star recruit from Trophy Club, Texas, Diesch is one of four offensive linemen in the Aggies 2016 class. Diesch tips the scales at 6-foot, 7-inches and 270 pounds and could become an anchor that Texas A&M sorely needs to protect its talented skills players.
