SEC Football: 14 early-enrollees to watch for during 2022 spring practice

DL Mykel Williams – Georgia Bulldogs

All eyes around college football will be on Athens this spring to see the defending national champions, a group that has since added an impressive freshman class, particularly on the defensive side of the ball headlined by one of the nation’s top defensive linemen in Williams.

While names such as Malaki Starks, Daylen Everette, Bear Alexander, and more will certainly garner a lot of attention as well, the in-state product from Hardaway High School in Columbus, GA is instantly cemented as one of the Bulldogs most-talented defensive linemen, and could easily make an impact from day one in 2022. A five-star Top 5 overall player in the Class of 2022, don’t be surprised if Williams is one of the top talking points coming out of the spring in Athens.

OT Kiyaunta Goodwin – Kentucky Wildcats

The top recruit in Kentucky’s 2022 class, you can already assume that the talk before, during, and after the Wildcats spring practice will likely be about Goodwin, a four-star offensive tackle who comes to Lexington as one of the highest-rated recruits in Kentucky history.

At 6-foot-8 and 340 pounds, Goodwin comes to Kentucky rated as the No. 6 overall offensive tackle in the country, as well as the top player in the state of Indiana where he attended Charlestown High School. Goodwin has the ability to make an impact from day one for the Wildcats in 2022, and it honestly wouldn’t surprise anyone if the freshman starts at one of Kentucky’s two tackle positions very-early next season.
