SEC Football: Alabama, Georgia among July 2023 recruiting winners
By Matt Melton
Auburn Tigers
July Commits:
- 5-star WR Perry Thompson
- 5-star ATH Demarcus Riddick
- 4-star CB Jalyn Crawford
- 4-star ATH Malcolm Simmons
- 4-star DL Malik Blocton
- 3-star LB D’Angelo Barber
A team that you likely heard about often during July, Auburn was a big recruiting winner by landing six commitments to their 2024 class. Of those six, five were from in-state prospects, with the two biggest being that of five-star wide receiver Perry Thompson (Foley, AL) and five-star athlete Demarcus Riddick (Chilton County, AL), both of which flipped to the Tigers from Alabama and Georgia, respectively.
Missouri Tigers
July Commits:
- 4-star WR James Madison II
- 4-star LB Brian Huff
- 3-star CB Cameron Keys
- 3-star LB Nicholas Rodriguez
- 3-star ATH Cam Dooley
- 3-star DL Justin Bodford
Missouri also added six commitments to their 2024 class during July, four of which came from the state of Florida. Arguably the biggest of those names was four-star wide receiver James Madison II, who was one of three commitments to come from St. Thomas Aquinas (FL), joined by three-star linebacker Nicholas Rodriguez and three-star defensive lineman Justin Bodford.
Tennessee Volunteers
July Commits:
- 5-star WR Mike Matthews
- 4-star OT Bennett Warren
- 4-star IOL William Satterwhite
- 4-star LB Edwin Spillman
The final SEC football recruiting winner from July 2023 is Tennessee, as the Volunteers landed four commitments to their 2024 class. Undoubtedly the biggest of those four names was Mike Matthews as well, who is a five-star wide receiver out of Parkview High School in Georgia.
