 Draft Scout College Football Player News: Mississippi State
Previous 15 Notes |Back to Page One| Next 15 Notes


  Mississippi State defensive back Collin Duncan isn't mincing words about this year's Bulldogs defense. "I think it can be great," Duncan said after practice Saturday. "I feel like it can be one of the great defenses here at Mississippi State and that's a lot. Just a few years ago we had one of the top defenses in the nation." Duncan, a junior safety from Montgomery, Alabama, has been one of the standout performers through the first few days of camp, according to coach Mike Leach. Duncan started the last seven games of the 2020 season for the Bulldogs, helping lead a defense that finished No. 57 nationally in scoring defense and No. 52 in total defense.

But already, just one weekend into fall camp, Duncan is ready to compare his squad to the 2018 unit that had the best total defense and the No. 2 scoring defense in the FBS. The difference between 2020 and 2021, as Duncan sees it, is depth. "We went last year from being one-deep at almost every position to now being three- or four-deep at almost every position. I feel like you're going to see a lot of guys this year just off of being able to rotate. A lot of guys are proving themselves this fall. It's going to be tremendous help." - The Clarion Ledger

  Another transfer from the Pac-12, Cal transplant Makai Polk is a 6-3, 200-pound pass catcher. In 17 games across the last two seasons, Polk caught 36 passes for 478 yards and three touchdowns. At the very least, he's depth for a talented receiver group. At the most, he's a plug-and-play receiver who helps Mississippi State attack downfield more than it could last year. - The Clarion Ledger

  Jamire Calvin caught 75 passes for 797 yards and four touchdowns in 2017 and 2018 under Leach at Washington State. He missed the 2019 season, and Washington State only played four games in 2020, but he's reunited with Leach in Starkville as a graduate transfer who will almost certainly factor in the returning receiving rotation with Walley, Malik Heath and Austin Williams. - The Clarion Ledger

  Mississippi State was picked by Southeastern Conference media to finish last in the SEC West, it was announced Friday morning. The Bulldogs, who finished 4-7 last season, were edged by Arkansas for the No. 6 spot in the division. The Razorbacks received 241 voting points, awarded on a 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 scale; MSU received 217. Offensive lineman Charles Cross was the Bulldogs' lone representative on the all-SEC teams, also announced Friday. Cross made the all-SEC third team, while no other MSU players cracked the list on offense, defense or special teams. - The Dispatch

  Williams appeared in all 11 games last season at both receiver and punt returner. He has eight career touchdowns and 628 yards across 64 receptions. Williams played his best game in the team's season-opening win against LSU in 2020, when he finished with a career-high seven receptions. Williams is a four-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and has maintained a 4.0 GPA while earning an undergraduate degree in finance in just three years. - The Clarion Ledger

  The Arizona State Sun Devils have added yet another transfer and it comes at a position they have placed an emphasis on in its recent recruiting efforts. The addition is tight end Geor'quarius Spivey of Mississippi State who will have three years of eligibility remaining. He reportedly picked ASU over Auburn, Indiana and Texas Tech. The 6-foot-5, 240-pounder started three games last season and had 11 catches for 121 yards as a wide receiver. His best game came against state rival Mississippi when he managed five catches for 97 yards in a 31-24 loss. Senior Curtis Hodges seemed to be coming into his own at the end of last season at the position although he missed much of spring practice. The Sun Devils also have another transfer there in freshman Jalin Conyers, who came over from Oklahoma although he did not play last season. Conyers took part in spring practice and had some stellar moments. - Arizona Republic

  Mike Leach has secured another commitment from Jamire Calvin - this time as the head coach at Mississippi State. Nearly three months after entering the NCAA transfer portal, the former Washington State wide receiver announced Saturday night he was committing to Mississippi State, where he'll have three years of eligibility remaining. "Sorry for the wait," Calvin posted on Twitter, along with a photoshopped graphic of the receiver wearing a maroon Bulldogs uniform with the No. 6. Leach and his WSU staff won a major recruiting battle with Nebraska to land Calvin's services in 2017 and the Southern California native immediately became a part of the Cougars' receivers rotation, hauling in 75 passes for 797 yards and four touchdowns in his first two seasons playing in the Air Raid offense.

Multiple offseason injuries sidelined Calvin for the entirety of the 2019 season, and Leach left the Cougars to accept the job at Mississippi State in January 2020, bringing most of his offensive assistants, including inside receivers coach Dave Nichol - another essential member of Calvin's recruitment to WSU. Calvin, a former four-star prospect, earned a starting role with new Cougars coach Nick Rolovich, but as an outside Z-receiver as opposed to the Y-slot position he played under Leach. Still, Calvin was able to have some success in Rolovich's run-and-shoot, catching 17 passes for 183 yards and one touchdown during the four-game 2020 season. - Spokesman-Review

  Mississippi State brought in an experienced pass-catcher in Makai Polk. The Bulldogs also brought in an experienced pass-defender in Jalen Green. The former Texas safety played in 35 games for the Longhorns. He logged one interception and seven passes defended. Green has teamed back up with MSU safeties coach Jason Washington, who coached at Texas from 2017-19. Mississippi State's play in the secondary was hit or miss last year. Green could act as a stabilizing force for the position group as it looks to better defend the deep ball. - The Clarion Ledger

  03/26/21 - Kylin Hill, Sr/2021, Mississippi State, 5-11, 214 (DS#11 RB) + More +

  Kylin Hill popped up on the Zoom call before anyone else. He had a smile on his face. A clear yearning to answer any questions to come his way. A determination to make his Mississippi State Pro Day experience as fulfilling as possible. It was clearly a different Hill than the one who only played in just two games, plus one series in a third, before opting out of his senior season last fall. Hill admitted as much. "The whole experience of being away, I feel like I've matured way more," Hill said. "I'm a better person all around." Hill said he checked all the boxes scouts and coaches came for. There's no doubt the running back from Columbus has the physical tools to contribute on an NFL roster. He's got enough of a body of work to prove it, too. Hill led the SEC in rushing yards with 1,350 as a junior in 2019. At 5-foot-11, 215 pounds he has enough muscle on his frame to fight off NFL defenders. He believes so, anyway. Nevertheless, Hill has countless clips of him throwing SEC defenders to the ground with ease to back himself up. "That's just how I've been playing all my life," Hill said. "What I put into my game and how I step onto the field I just feel like whenever I run the ball nobody can stop me." - The Clarion Ledger

  Washington State went to extreme lengths to convince Jamire Calvin to begin his college football career in Pullman, but it appears the former four-star receiver will finish it elsewhere. Calvin, one of the highest-rated recruits to sign at Washington State and someone who was projected to reclaim his starting position in the fall, announced Friday night he'll be entering the NCAA transfer portal as a graduate transfer. Although his career in Pullman was shortened by injuries, Calvin took advantage of his time in the Air Raid and run-and-shoot offenses, catching 92 passes for 980 yards and five touchdowns. - Spokesman-Review

  Mississippi State offensive lineman Brandon Cunningham is likely on his way out. Cunningham, who appeared in nine games, earning one start in 2020, has entered the transfer portal a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Dispatch. Matt Zenitz of AL.com first reported the news. Assuming Cunningham does not return to MSU, he would be the 18th player since Mike Leach took over last January to seek a transfer from the program. Junior defensive backs Marcus Murphy and Tyler Wiliams and junior running back and Columbus native Kylin Hill also previously opted out of the season due to COVID-19 concerns. - The Dispatch

  Mississippi State added a major missing piece to its 2021 secondary puzzle Saturday. MSU announced the addition of former Texas cornerback and top-50 recruit Jalen Green as a transfer. Green, the No. 47 player and No. 6 cornerback in the 2018 class according to the 247 Sports composite rankings, will enroll in school this month and be available for spring practices. A Houston, Texas native, the former fringe five-star recruit was recruited heavily by current MSU safeties coach Jason Washington when he served as the Longhorns' cornerbacks coach and recruiting coordinator. Washington again was heavily involved in Green's recruitment the second go-round, helping the Bulldogs secure his pledge. After redshirting his first year in Austin, Green played in 21 games for the Longhorns and recorded 22 tackles, 10 assists and five passes defensed. Should he have committed to MSU out of high school, he would have been rated the tenth-highest-ranked recruit to sign with the Bulldogs in school history. - The Dispatch

  Mississippi State is losing one more piece from its 2020 puzzle. Senior wide receiver Osirus Mitchell announced Tuesday via Twitter that he will forgo the final year of eligibility afforded to him by the NCAA amid the COVID-19 pandemic to enter the NFL draft. Mitchell becomes the fifth MSU senior to enter the draft in addition to classmates guard Dareuan Parker, linebacker Erroll Thompson and defensive ends Kobe Jones and Marquiss Spencer. Mitchell finished the 2020 season with 47 receptions for 505 yards and four touchdowns in 11 appearances. - The Dispatch

  Another Mississippi State draft decision has been made. Bulldogs starting guard Dareuan Parker announced Sunday afternoon that he will forgo the extra year of eligibility the NCAA has afforded players amid the COVID-19 pandemic and will enter the 2021 NFL draft. Parker was one of the few stalwarts along an MSU offensive line this fall that endured ample changeover and mismatching combinations. - The Dispatch
