SEC's list of 2016 decommitments growing this summer
The SEC went several weeks this summer without a decommitment before five-star tackle Greg Little’s decision last Monday to back off a pledge to Texas A&M became the league’s fifth since June 11, a foregone conclusion according to most recruiting analysts.

According to reports, Little was exploring his options and leaning toward a decommitment for several weeks. Alabama is now trending for the 2016’s top offensive lineman according to 247Sports’ Crystal Ball.
Former Florida commit Spencer Perry, a 6-foot-3 safety playing for IMG Academy in Bradenton this fall, was expected to land at Auburn after decommitting from the Gators in late June, but instead placed his verbal with Brian Kelly at Notre Dame.
Brodarious Hamm, a four-star tackle out of Georgia, committed to Auburn less than 24 hours after decommitting from Tennessee mid-June. Georgia lost two commits in June, four-stars E.J. Price (tackle) and B.J. Emmons (running back).
Here is a list of the 27 members of the 2016 class who have decommitted from SEC schools thus far:
