SEC Football: 14 early-enrollees to watch for during 2022 spring practice
By Matt Melton
WR Luther Burden – Missouri Tigers
One of the top overall incoming players regardless of position in SEC Football this spring, there is no doubt that all of the attention at Missouri will be on Burden, the second-highest ranked recruit in Tigers program history.
A five-star recruit from East Saint Louis High School, Burden comes to Missouri as the No. 3 overall player in the country for the Class of 2022, as well as the No. 1 overall wide receiver nationally. A name who will undoubtedly be a major impact player for the Tigers from day one next season, don’t be surprised at all if Burden ends the spring as Missouri’s WR1.
RB Quinshon Judkins – Ole Miss Rebels
For an Ole Miss team that has added multiple impact transfers through the portal so far this offseason, a group that includes former TCU running back Zach Evans, you could certainly make an argument that Judkins however is also one of the key names to watch for in the Rebels backfield.
A three-star recruit from Pike Road High School in Alabama, Judkins comes to Oxford after a phenomenal high school career in which he rushed for a total of 4,147 yards and 67 touchdowns the past three seasons. While Evans may get a majority of the attention in the Ole Miss backfield during the spring, and rightfully so, Judkins is a name to know because the freshman could easily play a role early in the year.
