Here is a look at the 2017 returning starters for the SEC West according to their rosters right now. It obviously doesn’t deal with starters hurt and not playing or what the NFL draft might take early.
Alabama - Offense - 10 (including the QB)
Defense - 7
Arkansas - Offense - 7 (including the QB)
Defense - 6
Auburn - Offense - 8 (including the QB)
Defense - 9
LSU - Offense - 7 (including the QB)
Defense - 6
Ole Miss - Offense - 8 (losing the QB)
Defense - 6
Miss. St. - Offense - 6 (including QB)
Defense - 4
TX. AM - Offense - 8 (including the QB)
Defense - 9
With our schedule at Bama, LSU, and Ole Miss it looks like we will be one of the least experienced in the West and facing a tough road to walk.
