With seven SEC teams hosting opponents in Week 10, several highly sought after high school prospects attended the games of schools that are heavily involved in their recruitment.
It’s common for recruits to tweet out photos or videos while on their visits, and SDS decided to take a look at some of the key trips from Week 10.
This was a big week in terms of the SEC standings with Florida taking control of the East and Alabama rising to the top of the West once again. Both schools had prospects that they’re targeting in attendance for their victories.
Alabama against LSU was the marquee game of the weekend, and the Crimson Tide took full advantage of the opportunity to host players such as 2016 five-star linebacker Lyndell Wilson. Wilson is a homegrown product from Montgomery, Ala., but has said to be leaning toward Florida recently. However, he posted some tweets that would suggest that Alabama is still very much in the mix.

This was the best Alabama game I’ve been to since I’ve been getting recruited . 💯#RollTide🐘 — Feb 14th (@Iam__MW3) November 8, 2015
Alabama hosted another 2016 recruit against LSU that the Crimson Tide are hoping to lure away from a few other SEC schools. Four-star athlete Mecole Hardman has had Georgia and Tennessee as his frontrunners so far, but he appears to have enjoyed his time in Tuscaloosa over the weekend.

The Crimson Tide also had several 2017 four-star recruits on campus, including Kendall Randolph, Will Ignont and A.J. Harris, who all posed for this photo together.

Florida won the SEC East in Week 10 by beating Vanderbilt, and 2018 Kentucky commit Jermaine Eskridge was on hand to watch the game. He tweeted out this photo of the Gators’ crowd.

Speaking of Kentucky, the Wildcats didn’t fare too well in Week 10 against Georgia. But the Bulldogs were more than happy to put on a show for some of their visitors. Jake Lawler is a 2017 defensive end with offers from most ACC schools, but he had an “incredible” time in Athens over the weekend.

Four-star 2016 offensive tackle E.J. Price also attended the Georgia-Kentucky game with some of his teammates and posed for this photo with them inside the Bulldogs’ stadium.

Tennessee had a big win over South Carolina 27-24 and had several recruits at Rocky Top for the experience. Four-star recruits Marcus Tatum and Emmit Gooden both posted photos from within Neyland Stadium while on their visits. Tatum is between Florida, Miami and Tennessee.
