High School Signees

Willie Gay– One of the top players in the state of Mississippi, Willie had offers from LSU, Michigan, and Ole Miss. The 6-1, 4 star linebacker will almost definitely see the field this year and could play a big role for the defense.

Kylin Hill– A 4 star running back from Columbus, Hill is almost certain to redshirt given the amount of players currently on the roster. If Kylin does see action it’ll be mostly special teams.

Noah Elliss– Another big strong defensive linemen. The 3 star player from Colorado will have to fight for playing time and may potentially red shirt.

Tyler Dunning– The first commit to actually sign is letter of intent was Dunning. The linebacker has been committed to the Bulldogs for a while now and should join the list of undersized linebackers who overachieve at MSU.

Aaron Odom– The 3 start defensive end created some signing day drama when he decommitted from MSU last week. With a  strong push by the coaching staff and other recruits, Odom signed with State over Louisville.

Landon Guidry– At 6-1 185, Guidry will most likely red shirt to put on some weight and strength. But given the poor play of the 2016 secondary anything is possible.

Cordavien Suggs– Any offensive linemen can help at this point. At 6-6 285, Suggs probably won’t play as a freshman but the future is certainly bright.

Josh Copper– Another huge offensive linemen for the Bulldogs. The opportunity to prove himself should be there for Copper given his size, 6-7 355, and the poor play of the  previous unit.

Montravious Richardson– He finds himself in the same category as Cooper and Suggs. Great size and a position of need could get him on the  field sooner rather than later.

Tucker Day– The nation’s ninth ranked punter will most likely sit a year behind Logan Cooke. Unless of course he can kick field goals.

Jaquavious Collins– When you’re 6-4 288 you could always find yourself on the field but there maybe a log jam on the defensive line causing Collins to sit out a year.
