Around the SEC: Georgia leads conference to strong 2018 finish
As always the Southeastern Conference did well on the recruiting trail in 2018, but there was a bit of a shake-up at the top of the league rankings. Jason Howell dives into the hits, misses and wild stories from National Signing Day.
Let's talks about LBs
You guys have been asking about linebacker targets, and one thing coach Fisher and his staff has shown is they will go after the nation's best. So, here are a few guys to keep an eye on as targets start to emerge. All of these guys are among the best in the country, and they are also still looking at their college optionsLB Solomon Tuliaupupu, Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei - Notre Dame has been in the mix for a long time so Elko being on staff could give the Aggies a chance. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/9379159/5a2cf9f52351bd1774f3c708LB Quay Walker, Cordele (AL) Crisp County - Committed to Alabama but he is taking visits and he has his eyes on the SEC. Florida, Auburn, Georgia, and Tennessee are currently scheduled to receive officials, so weekends are getting scarce.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/5463791/59e64cb80c5e0a11300911efLB Xavier Peters, West Chester (OH) Lakota West Committed to Kentucky, but he is looking at options. Florida and Florida State both have visits scheduled and Miami is coming on strong. He is from the Midwest and his stock is on the rise after a big week at the Under Armour game. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/7857470/5a01406fff0cde2198f5d27aLB Merlin Robertson, Gardena (CA) Junipero Serra - This is a guy Oklahoma was watching closely before DaShaun White's commitment. This is a bit of a wild card, but this guy just keeps popping up in my mind as a guy to watch.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/3901874/5a270d733864f437e0e80deeAnd here's a in-state guy I'm hoping gets a look. LB Dayven Coleman, Mesquite West Mesquite - He was committed to UCLA, and before the dead period Arizona was making a push. Illinois has been the most consistent. This guy has played everywhere from CB to DE over the last three years, he is a big hitter, has good size, and he is comfortable in coverage.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/7591626/59ac70faa676640a98e7b5ea
