Meet the 2018 Mississippi State football early signing period commits
Here you go, folks. It's time for you to officially meet the newest members of the Mississippi State football team.
At 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds, Nick Pendley appears to have the physical tools to help anchor and offensive line in the Southeastern Conference. He’s big and solid and could still bulk up or even slim down a little bit depending on where along the line Joe Moorhead and the Mississippi State football team want to place Pendley.
That size and possible versatility will be an asset for the Mississippi State Bulldogs down the road if they need to move Pendley around the line a bit. Pendley is one of several offensive line recruits for the 2019 Mississippi State recruiting class, but he’s got the potential to break out in the near future.
