Mississippi State landed one of the premier quarterbacks across all the nation Tuesday evening. What were the reactions to the Bulldogs landing another 4-star QB?

Jalen Mayden finally made it official.

The Sachse High School signal caller has been Mississippi State’s top priority at the quarterback position for quite sometime now. He finally gave his commitment to Dan Mullen and the coaching staff during his school’s spring game on Tuesday.

This is a huge get for the Bulldogs.

In a two minute video featuring some of his highlight film and his five finalists, Mayden said he committed to the Bulldogs for the “family atmosphere” and Dan Mullen’s track record with quarterbacks.

"“What I like about Mississippi State is that it’s a great family atmosphere. I like what the coaches are bringing to the table and what Dan Mullen does with his quarterbacks.You know, they say the quarterback for Mississippi State is like the mayor of the city, almost. So, I like it, and it’s a small little college town. I feel like this is the best conference, there is no football like the SEC.Go Dawgs!"

Coach Elliott enjoyed the big news. Another big addition to his quarterback room.

Coach Looney landed in Mayden’s home-state as soon as heard the news:

2017 Mississippi State commit Marcus Murphy and 2016 signee Cordavien Suggs are happy to welcome in an elite quarterback to the family:

Saturday Down South’s Michael Bratton has some big praise following Mayden’s commitment:

CBS11 Dallas reporter Bill Jones notes the Dak-effect:

Robby Donoho tweets out Jalen Mayden’s highlights. Make sure to watch, if you haven’t already.

Mayden was invited to the prestigious Elite11 earlier this month.

Jalen Mayden is a huge commitment for the Mississippi State football program. With Dak starring in the NFL, Fitzgerald taking over in Starkville, and 2016 Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year Keytaon Thompson on campus, Mississippi State is building quite the résumé of quarterbacks.

Jalen Mayden adds to that.

Welcome to the family, Jalen! Hail State!
