The SEC has laid claim to some of college football’s most sensational linebackers over the course of the last 10 seasons, and debating who among them was the best will leave your head spinning faster than an amusement park attraction.

But a discussion of the most enjoyable players to watch from that crop of linebackers is just as fascinating. Of course, it’s all a matter of personal opinion, but there are a bevy of worthy candidates in the discussion.

Check out what our SDS staffers had to say on the matter:

WHO WAS YOUR FAVORITE SEC LINEBACKER TO WATCH DURING THE LAST 10 YEARS?

Jon Cooper (@JonSDS): Jarvis Jones, Georgia (2009-12)

What Jarvis Jones accomplished in two years at Georgia is absolutely remarkable, and his story is just as good, if not better. Jones originally signed with USC, only to be ruled out with a neck sprain. He passed all the proper medical tests in order to play for Georgia, his home state team, and he absolutely took the SEC by storm. Jones racked up 28 sacks and 44 tackles for loss in just two seasons. That’s ridiculous. The former All-American left for the NFL Draft following the 2012 season. Jones exemplified everything coaches want, and he was an unstoppable force coming off the edge in the SEC. He was always at his best against the Bulldogs’ rivals, specifically Florida. In a league full of great former linebackers, Jarvis Jones was definitely the most fun player to watch since 2005.

Ethan Levine (@EthanLevineSDS): Brandon Spikes, Florida (2006-09)

Spikes was the kind of linebacker who impacted a game just by stepping onto the field, even if the offense never ran a play in his direction. He had borderline defensive end size at 6-foot-3 and 260 pounds, but moved laterally better than most linebackers during his college career. Furthermore, there might not be a linebacker from the last 10 years who was more powerful when playing downhill. He shed blocks like the linemen were made of pillows, and made sure his victims remembered every hit he laid. There were few players at any position who were more fun to watch than Spikes when he was moving at full speed to track down a ball carrier.

Georgia’s Jarvis Jones was my favorite to watch despite only getting to see him play two seasons. I was transfixed on the dreadlocked playmaker every snap because he gave you the feeling a game-changing play was about to happen. Whether he was in pursuit chasing down a ballcarrier and preparing for a strip-sack in the backfield, Jones was exciting to watch. His four-sack effort against Florida was one of the most dominating performances I’ve ever seen from a player at the linebacker position.

Christopher Smith (@CSmithSDS): Andrew Wilson, Missouri (2009-13)

Wilson wasn’t the most athletic or most talented SEC ‘backer — he went undrafted and didn’t make an NFL roster — but he was a joy to watch. Just two of his four seasons came in the SEC, but in many ways he was the heart of the Tigers defense that won the SEC East in 2013, even taking into account Michael Sam and Kony Ealy. Wilson played his guts out every game and finished his career with 332 total tackles, ranking second in the SEC in ’13. He won Missouri’s Team Hammer Award for dishing out the most big hits — all four years. That personified his SEC career. “He’s always been a very physical, a very explosive hitter,” head coach Gary Pinkel told the Kansas City Star. “And when he hits you, he just strikes you. That’s what we’ve known him for.” How can you not love watching that in a linebacker?
