With eight SEC teams hosting opponents in Week 11, 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 11.
Sometimes players that are already committed to schools will still decide to take their official visits to other schools that were in on their recruitment.
Iowa three-star 2016 defensive back commit K.J. Sails took his official visit to South Carolina with his high school teammate Gaej Walker. The two of them posed for this photo together before the Gamecocks’ loss to the Gators.

Four-star 2016 linebacker and Alabama native Ben Davis took an official visit to LSU over the weekend. Although the Tigers suffered a disappointing loss to Arkansas, Davis seems to have enjoyed his time in Baton Rouge and tweeted this photo out of himself and LSU coach Les Miles.

Another recruit that had to witness a bad loss but still had a good time was 2017 three-star running back Kylin Hill. He visited Starkville to watch Mississippi State get rolled on by Alabama, and he tweeted out this photo from the field.

Sticking with the trend of prospects being invited on campus for losses, 2017 four-star defensive tackle MJ Webb visited Auburn for its tough loss to Georgia. Webb has offers from Auburn and Georgia, though, among several other SEC schools. He tweeted this photo of him on the field at Auburn.
