#4 David Smith
Smith played on the same teams as Milner from 1968 through 1970. What makes the career of Smith so impressive is he spent his first year playing as a running back. Despite that, he is still one of the most accomplished receivers for the Bulldogs.
Smith’s reception total of 162 is still the school record. His 2,168 receiving is still good for third on the all time list for the Bulldogs. He caught 12 touchdown passes in the three years he played. His 1970 season of 74 receptions and 987 receiving yards are still second best for a receiver at Mississippi State.
