Always fun to see which players come out of nowhere to be big names. The SEC has a lot of talent that flies below the recruiting radar.

For Georgia, I'll say 3 star DT Daquan Hawkins, 6'4", 301, can also play OG. He was lightly recruited early on because of grade concerns. I hope he makes it because I think his senior video is impressive.

Josh Allen, a 3* DE/OLB from New Jersey.

He's 6'4 220 and led the state of New Jersey in sacks last season with 22.5 and added another 23.0 TFL. It was his first season playing the position. The previous three years he spent playing WR at a 3A school in Alabama and was 1st Team All-State as a JR at WR.

No idea how he flew so far under the radar, NJ is a state with pretty good football. He had offers from Hawaii and Kansas but his HS coach was going to send him to prep for a year if Kentucky didn't offer him.

Roney Elam- long athletic CB who is a bit raw but could be a great one if he fills out his body a little bit and refines his technique

Would probably be my answer if we had been able to flip him. Should be a great one for the Vols

Isn't it impossible to tell who the best "sleeper" is at this point? Isn't that why they are "sleepers"?

Trent Thompson. We're hoping he gets arrested soon so we can outbid auburn for him. He's a beast.

not sure if Jon Taylor would be considered a sleeper, but his talent is more than his star rating suggests.

I think Lester Cotton will be the next beastly Bama OL.

not sure if bama has many recruits in this class that would be considered sleepers, but judging their hype vs their talent, I'd say Anfernee Jennings, DE from Dadeville, 6'3 256 is a pretty good choice.

Franklin Agbasimere - 3* OLB from Nigeria. Never attended a camp. Has played in less than 20 football games ever. He was way under the radar. Scouts noticed him while looking at a teammate, I believe.

The Australian punter. Les Miles loves him some Australian punters. They catch more "passes" than our WR's.

Vincent Perry

Tore his ACL his junior season and most thought he wasn't considering college football since h'ell be a high baseball draft pick. If not for those 2 factors, he would have been a high 4 star.

The guy is absolute lightning fast. He'll be in line to replace Pig Howard after the 2015 season. Runs like Percy Harvin

Gary McCrae - 3 start athlete that will probably play somewhere on the d line. He's going to be a monster
