Auburn Tigers

December Commits:

  • 4-star EDGE Keldric Faulk
  • 4-star CB Kayin Lee
  • 4-star S Sylvester Smith
  • 3-star OT Izavion Miller
  • 3-star DL Quientrail Travis
  • 3-star OL Connor Lew
  • 3-star CB Colton Hood
  • 3-star OT Tyler Johnson
  • 3-star QB Hank Brown
  • 3-star DL Stephen Johnson

Auburn and new head coach Hugh Freeze were also a big recruiting winner, as the Tigers landed a total of 10 commitments during December, the most of any SEC football team. Arguably the two biggest names of that group were four-star’s Keldric Faulk and Kayin Lee, both of which flipped to the Tigers during the Early Signing Period from Florida State and Ohio State, respectively.

Mississippi State Bulldogs

December Commits:

  • 4-star S Isaac Smith
  • 3-star OT Leon Bell
  • 3-star DL Eric Taylor
  • 3-star CB Brice Pollock
  • 3-star CB Caleb Bryant
  • 3-star CB Luke Evans
  • 3-star OT Amari Smith
  • 3-star DL Gabriel Moore
  • 3-star P Keelan Crimmins

Mississippi State was also a big recruiting winner during the month of December by landing a total of nine commitments, which fell one shy of the conference-high. The biggest of those names was undoubtedly Isaac Smith, a four-star safety who could potentially be an instant impact player for the Bulldogs next season in Starkville.

Ole Miss Rebels

December Commits:

  • 4-star RB Kedrick Reescano
  • 4-star QB Demond Williams Jr.
  • 3-star WR Cayden Lee
  • 3-star OL Ethan Fields
