The 2020 Class Reinforces the Importance of Line Play in the SEC

The early signing period is up and running with Kentucky getting most of their class signed on this cold December day in the Bluegrass State. The Wildcats closed with a flurry by getting letters of intent from numerous top-500 recruits to help collect the best recruiting class in program history. There was plenty of flash with a bunch of skill players involved, but at its root this will be a group remembered for what they assembled in the trenches. As Eddie Gran always tells the media, “it starts with the guys upfront”.

Most four or five-star offensive/defensive line commits from the 2020 class…

Clemson: 9
Georgia: 7
Oklahoma: 7
Kentucky: 6
Texas A&M: 6
Alabama: 5
Florida: 5
LSU: 4
Ohio State: 4
