South Carolina – Pharoh Cooper
I'm not sure there is a more athletic player in the SEC than Pharoh Cooper. He has a great combination of speed, agility, and can jump out the freaking gym. When the ball gets in Cooper's hands, good things tend to happen for the Gamecocks. If South Carolina wants to avoid another season like last year, Cooper is going to have to give them a big lift on the offensive end and I'm excited to see if he can provide that for them.
Tennessee – Joshua Dobbs
The difference between Tennessee pre-Dobbs and post-Dobbs was pretty astounding last year and he actually made Tennessee fun to watch again. The way he escapes pressure in the pocket is incredibly impressive and I expect him to develop more accuracy during the offseason. One thing I'd like to see Tennessee eliminate is plays where Dobbs is throwing the ball as he's rolling out to the left, because good teams can take advantage of that and I think that Butch should be a smart enough guy to get rid of that. The South Carolina comeback last year was incredible, and I think that there is going to be a lot more of play like that from the eyebrowless wonder in 2015.
Texas A&M - Speedy Noil
I want to answer Kyler Murray more than anyone else here because watching that kid play in high school was absolutely incredible, and I really do believe he can have similar success at the college level. That being said, I'm not going to pick a player who I'm not sure we'll see play next year so I'll go with Speedy Noil. I know I just said Pharoh Cooper might be the most athletic player in the SEC, but if there is someone more athletic than him that guy is Speedy Noil. We didn't see as much Speedy as I thought I would last year, but in his Sophomore year, I'm expecting Sumlin to use him in every possible way and for Noil to emerge as the #1 receiver in the A&M system. Noil is a helluva ballplayer, and an even better athlete. I can't wait to see what he's gonna do in 2015.
Vanderbilt – Ralph Webb
I'm gonna be completely honest, there aren't a whole lot of guys on Vanderbilt's offense that I'm very interested in seeing play next year, but if there is one that guy is Ralph Webb. In his Freshman (RS) year he nearly ran for 1,000 yards and provides a very impressive punch to a guy with his speed. Vandy is going to have to find some way to get their offensive going in 2015, and Webb is going to need to be the guy that the Commodores rely on next year.

JJ for Auburn for sure. Chubb for UGA, hate AU missed out in him he is a beast. But I will say Roc for AU and J. Robinson will be fun to watch. Dobbs for TN will be cool if he takes the lead...and grows some eyebrows.

These are great summaries! Thank you so much for them!
I am most excited to see Kozan come back --- but that is more about hoping he can overcome the horrible back injury he suffered last summer.
