SEC team-by-team recruiting update: Alabama, Georgia pacing SEC recruiting

Mississippi State, on the heels of a program-best season, has a league-topping 29 commitments, with Steve Spurrier’s South Carolina program not far behind at 27.

Florida, now without a head coach, holds a SEC-worst nine commitments.

Nick Saban’s top-ranked Alabama program boasts the top-rated class in the country, led by four five-star commitments.
