We've finally come to the moment you've all been waiting for.
It's time to unveil our top five players in the SEC for the 2015 season.
Believe me when I say this (no, really, believe me) this was not an easy list to construct and this was not an easy final five to decide upon. The SEC is chock-full of talented players that no top-25 list could ever do the league real justice.
But that's why they pay us in Twitter followers. It's our job to come up with what we think is the best set of players in the league, and frankly, this is a fine list and the top five won't disappoint.
1. Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia
It's hard to find a better overall player at both the SEC and national level. As a true freshman, this beast of a back finished the 2014 season ranking second in the SEC with 1,547 rushing yards after starting only eight games. In that eight-game span, he never dipped below 119 yards (165.4 ypg). Chubb averaged 7.1 yards per catch with 14 touchdowns and finished the year with an SEC-bowl-record 266 rushing yards on 33 carries. Chubb can bury a defense with a bruising style, juke defenders out of their cleats or burn them with his explosiveness.
2. Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida
One of the best cover corners in the nation, throwing at Hargreaves must be done with extreme caution. With his instincts and speed, Hargreaves can eliminate the entire side of the field that he's on. The ballhawking corner has only six career interceptions in two seasons, but has defended 27 passes. At 5-foot-11, 199 pounds, Hargreaves sticks to his opponents like glue, allowing an SEC-low 4.6 yards per play last season. Hargeaves isn't fazed by facing size, speed, or both. The two-time All-SEC selection isn't afraid to get physical either, collecting 50 tackles in 2014, including 31 solo stops.
3. Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State
Prescott returns as the SEC's top quarterback, and he'll compete to be one of the nation's best at the position for a second straight year. A Heisman contender for most of the 2014 season, Prescott broke 12 school records, including rushing yards by a quarterback (986), total offense (4,435), total offense per game (341.2) and touchdowns responsible (41). Prescott was also excellent under pressure, registering a nation-leading 17 touchdowns on third down. He also became one of just two players in the past seven seasons to average 265 passing yards and 75 rushing yards per game.
4. Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss
When healthy, Tunsil is the arguably the nation's best left tackle. If not for his continuing recovery from that horrific leg injury he suffered in the Rebels' bowl game, one could argue that he'd be NFL-ready today. The 6-foot-5, 305-pound junior has started 20 of his 23 career games at left tackle and has allowed just two sacks in two seasons. He's the life force of this offensive line; just look at how listless Ole Miss' offense was in the second half of the LSU game after Tunsil went down. A healthy Tunsill will be a top-10 pick in next year's NFL draft.
5. Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss
Another star of Ole Miss' historic 2013 recruiting class, Nkemdice could be top-10 pick as well in next year's NFL draft if he plays to his potential. Nkemdiche has never had sexy numbers (12 tackles for loss and four sacks in two years), but he's an incredibly disruptive player. He has found his home at defensive tackle, where he can force plays to teammates, but he can also move outside if needed. Nkemdiche displays Mack Truck strength in the middle, but can run like a linebacker when he's in pursuit. He continuously pushes opposing lines to get to quarterbacks and can swallow the run as well.
