Mississippi State has landed several highly-touted recruits in the last class that late head coach Mike Leach ever recruited as the Bulldogs are poised to build upon a strong season next year.
Here's a look at the latest with several recruits furthering their commitment to the Starkville squad:
No surprises here.

As someone who has worked with a lot of high school recruits, I have been truly impressed by Chris Parson’s maturity beyond his years in our few conversations.

Mississippi State gained a great quarterback today and I can’t wait to watch what this dual-threat does down the line.

Mississippi State's past 3 commitments are DT Gabriel Moe, DL Caleb Bryant and former LSU DE Eric Taylor.
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) December 21, 2022
All solid additions for the Bulldogs on a defensive side of the ball that was already strong in 2022. And I've got a feeling they're not done snatching from LSU just yet...
Mississippi State's latest commitment for the Class of 2023 is 4-star wide receiver Creed Whittlemore out of F.W. Buchholz (Gainesville, FL).
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) December 21, 2022
Whittlemore was heavily projected to land with the Gators -- ranked nationally as the No. 13 ATH, No. 62 overall prospect in FL.
Anywho, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
