<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We've found a colossal amount of talent here in the SEC Red. Over this series, I've evaluated 30 prospects and most of them will be added to the rankings ecosystem. I am highly excited to watch all of these prospects in-season, and can't wait to watch many of them breakout into college prospects. Finally, for this last iteration, I'll be quickly evaluating seven more players from the SEC Red.</p>
