Watch for these 11 SEC players to breakout in 2024

Brock Vandagriff (QB, Kentucky)

Talk about a sleeper pick. All Vandagriff did was spend three years on the bench for one of the best programs in the country in the Georgia Bulldogs learning from offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Mike Bobo and head coach Kirby Smart.

Vandagriff was part of two national championship teams in Athens and has the privilege of sitting behind Stetson Bennett and Carson Beck the past three seasons. Still buried on the depth chart in Athens where competition is elite, he opted for a move to the Kentucky Wildcats where he will be the starting quarterback in 2024.

The Wildcats bring back receivers Dane Key and Barion Brown which should help in the passing game, along with fifth year offensive lineman Gerald Mincey protecting Vandagriff.

Raylen Wilson (LB, Georgia)

Watch out for this one. Wilson is entering his sophomore season for the Georgia Bulldogs and is projected to start at linebacker for Kirby Smart’s defense. Wilson was ranked as a five star and the fourth best linebacker prospect in the class of 2023.

Like many do in Athens, Wilson had a reserve role for the Bulldogs as a true freshman where it is nearly impossible to get on the field. In the time he did get, Wilson absolutely looked the part accumulating 15 tackles with nine being solo.
