Current SEC players that can become the all-time leaders at their positions

Are there any current players on rosters that could write their name in the record books and become the SEC's all-time leader in a certain statistic?
So far I've got:
Aaron Murray (UGA)- Basically a lock to become the SEC's all-time leader in career passing yards, needing just 1,438 yards to pass former Bulldog, David Greene.
Aaron Murray- Also a virtual lock to become the SEC's all-time leader in career passing TDs, needing just 20 TDs to pass Florida great, Danny Wuerffel
Aaron Murray- Needs just 1,932 total yards to become the SEC's all-time leader in career total offense, would pass Tim Tebow.
Johnny Manziel- If he doesn't leave after next season, I could see him becoming the all-time leader in total offense. It would take a hell of a lot because Aaron Murray still has a lot to add. I'm just not sure if he can keep his current pace up.
Jordan Matthews (Vandy)- Needs 812 yards to become the leader in all-time career receiving yards.
Amari Cooper (Bama) & Mike Evans (Texas A&M)- Both had great freshman years with 999 & 1105 receiving yards, respectively. Has at least two more years to try and get their names atop the career receiving yards list.
Donte Moncrief (Ole Miss)- As a sophomore with 1,433 yards, would need a huge junior year or to at least stay as a senior but its definitely possible.
Amari Cooper- Could also become the all-time leader in receiving touchdowns, needing 32. Had 11 touchdowns as a freshman, so if he can keep that up for the next two seasons (big if, I know, but still a possibility), he should get more than 31.
Now I know some of these are more likely than others and anything can happen (injuries and such) but these are the ones that I think we should keep an eye on. Also, I don't see any defensive statistic records being broken. Clowney has the best shot right now but he would have to stay his senior season, which is less of a possibility than him getting 39 TFLs and 31.5 sacks (the numbers he would need to pass Derrick Thomas)
Any player from your school you think has an outside shot at becoming an SEC leader? Let's hear 'em.

If Murray gets a crystal ball he might be considered the best QB in UGA history

One of these definitely isn't like the other.

True.
Murray will actually do something with his pro career.

Get it right, Crompdaddy. Murray is -42-133 vs. ranked teams

Technically all incoming freshmen and red shirt freshman could become all-time leaders in their position.
So I'm going to say yes.

He's 3-0 vs the Vols
Only problem is Tennessee sucks so they can't be ranked

If Murray goes 4-0 against the Vols, he might be considered the best QB in UGA history.

With two more seasons like last year, A.J. Johnson is on pace to match Wesley Woodyard's career record of 227 solo tackles, and crush Chris Marve's career record of 191 assisted tackles.

Manziel, Cooper, Evans, Moncrief all had great freshman or sophomore seasons, but I foresee all of these guys leaving early so they probably won't really threaten any all-time career SEC records.
I think you basically just started a thread to brag about Aaron Murray, which is fine, but... most people DGAF.

This might be pretty irrelevant, but who's got the most career starts?
I can't remember if Murray started as a frosh or not, but if he did and can make another SEC Championship game he'd have to be pushing that number too.

And I think you're right, most people dgaf. Statistically, we're going to be watching the best qb in SEC history this year, but no one seems to care. He's certainly better than average on paper, but he hasn't won anything. He's 1-2 in bowls, 0-2 in the SEC Championship, has an 0-3 record to USC, and has an overall record of 28-13.

What's the SEC record for wins by a starting QB. Wouldn't Murray have a shot at that too?
