SEC team-by-team recruiting update

Recruiting has taken a bit of a backseat to bowl games, thanks in part to the NCAA’s month-long non-contact period.

The U.S. Army All-American Bowl and Under Armour All-America Game are in just more than a week, at which time notable top recruits will announce their commitments and team rankings should fluctuate.

As teams break for the Christmas holiday, Saturday Down South examines how each SEC team stacks up in recruiting.

Rankings are based on composite team rankings from 247Sports.
