Speaking Of Kylin Hill And Nick Gibson, They’ll Be A Great Duo To Watch In 2019

Kylin Hill and Nick Gibson have both shown their potential in short bursts. And, right now, that potential looks really, really good. Hill, as a freshman in 2017, ran for 393 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 78 carries. Gibson, as a redshirt sophomore, produced 239 yards and a touchdown on 45 carries.

On top of that, both young running backs had solid performances in the Mississippi State football Maroon and White game on Saturday.

This duo will be crucial for the future of Mississippi State’s offense. Moorhead will rely heavily on what these two can do, especially in Keytaon Thompson’s first year as a starter in 2019. There’s no telling how good the Bulldogs can be then, but these three players will help define that.
