SEC Non-Quarterback Players to Watch for 2025
As the Southeastern Conference (SEC) gears up for the 2025 season, several non-quarterback players across its 16 schools are poised to significantly impact their teams.
Alabama features wide receiver Ryan Williams, who shined as a freshman in 2024 with 48 receptions for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. Consistency will be key for Williams, especially after a quiet finish to last season.
Arkansas’ linebacker Xavian Sorey Jr. emerged strongly after transferring from Georgia, notching 99 tackles—ranking him seventh in the league. His leadership will be vital for the Razorbacks’ defensive strategies.
At Auburn, freshman wide receiver Cam Coleman made headlines with 23 catches, 306 yards, and six touchdowns against tough opponents. His potential has fans excited for his sophomore season.
Florida’s running back Jaden Baugh, expected to take the lead role after a productive 2024 season, aims to shine alongside Ja’Kobi Jackson. Meanwhile, Georgia’s defensive lineman Christen Miller is set to strengthen the Bulldog’s front seven following notable departures.
Kentucky’s Kendrick Law, newly transferred from Alabama, could become a primary offensive threat following the exit of key players. Similarly, LSU’s linebacker Harold Perkins returns from injury, eager to reclaim his status as a top draft prospect.
The Mississippi Rebels will benefit from defensive end Princewell Umanmielen, who has transferred from Nebraska. Meanwhile, Mississippi State’s Isaac Smith stands out as a safety, having led the conference with 127 tackles last season.
In Missouri, wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. seeks to uphold offensive momentum following a successful stint at Mississippi State. Oklahoma’s R Mason Thomas is projected as a future first-round pick after an impressive junior season.
South Carolina’s Dylan Stewart is attracting attention for his defensive prowess, drawing comparisons to Jadeveon Clowney. Other notable players include Tennessee’s cornerback Jermod McCoy, Texas‘ running back CJ Baxter, Texas A&M’s safety Will Lee III, and Vanderbilt’s offensive lineman Chase Mitchell, who is pivotal in protecting quarterback Diego Pavia.
These talented players are set to shape their teams’ fortunes as the SEC heads into another exciting season.
