This week in the SEC blog, we're reviewing the top 25 SEC players from the 2015 season, as chosen by our staff of reporters. After two days, we showed you 21-25 and 16-20. Today, we rank players 11-15 on the list.

11. Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M: It was always going to be hard for Garrett to top his sensational freshman season when he had 14 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks. But he did that and then some this past year. The sophomore led the SEC with 19.5 tackles for loss. He also had 12.5 sacks, 10 quarterback hurries, five fumbles forced, and he even added his first interception for good measure. But the biggest sign of progress was his uptick in conference play. Eleven of Garrett’s tackles for loss and six of his sacks came against SEC teams.

12. Kentrell Brothers, LB, Missouri: It started with 16 tackles in the season opener. Then it was 16 tackles again the next week at Arkansas State. Then 10 the week after that. Are you starting to get the picture? Brothers finished with 152 tackles, the most of any player in college football and more than any SEC player has had in the past decade. And he didn’t even play in a bowl game. The senior also had 12 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, two interceptions and three blocked kicks, but it was his 152 stops that put him on another level.

13. Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida: It was a disappointing season for Hargreaves. He gave up some big plays down the stretch, and some would even argue that he wasn’t the best cornerback on his own team. But a disappointing season for Hargreaves is still pretty good for most. The junior was among the SEC leaders with four interceptions, and he also finished with 33 tackles and four passes broken up. More than anything, though, he consistently locked down his side of the field, forcing quarterbacks to throw away from him.

14. Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama: Early in the year, nobody outside Tuscaloosa knew who Ridley was. That changed when he had over 100 yards and a touchdown in back-to-back games against Georgia and Arkansas. By the end of the year, he was Alabama’s go-to receiver and a primary reason why the Crimson Tide won the national championship. The true freshman led the SEC with 89 receptions and was second only to Laquon Treadwell with 1,045 yards receiving. He also hauled in seven touchdowns. What will he do for an encore?

15. Alex Collins, RB, Arkansas: Any other year and Collins would have been a first-team All-SEC member and might have even gotten some Heisman buzz. But he picked this year to have his best season, the same year in which Derrick Henry and Leonard Fournette both broke Herschel Walker’s conference record for rushing yards in a season. Collins might not have broken any records, but he still rushed for 1,577 yards and 20 touchdowns, averaging 5.82 yards per carry. It will be more than enough to get him drafted this April.
