Recruiting- A look at this weekend's visitors

Kevin McReynolds- DT, 6-3 280, Washington D.C.
3* Scout; 4* Rivals
Offers- Mississippi State, Kansas State, Maryland, Syracuse and UCLA
Status- Uncommitted
I think we have a pretty decent shot at him considering we are his last visit and he has already visited Syracuse and UCLA. He has a huge upside and would be a big pick up for Mullen, in the end I think he will sign with MSU.

Joe Morrow- WR, 6-4 195, 4.60, Ocean Springs, MS
4* Scout; 3* Rivals
Offers- Mississippi State, Auburn, Arkansas, LSU and Ole Miss
Status- Committed to Mississippi State
Joe took a visit to last Arkansas last weekend but I heard it was just for the visit. He is good friends with Devin Fosselman and I am sure they will be working hard on getting the few uncommitted prospets coming in this weekend committed. He is a big receiver, he will play the X on the next level and with his size I could see him getting some playing time next year.

James Maiden- DT/OT, 6-4 265, Woodville, MS
3* Scout; 3* Rivals
Offers- Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, LSU and USC
Status- Committed to Mississippi State
James is an absolute beast in the trenches. I think he will come in as an offensive tackle and redshirt his first year and gain a lot of weight. Once Balis gets him up to 290-300 I think he will be able to contribute.

Daniel Knox- TE/OT, 6-5 250, Collinsville, MS
3* Scout; 3* Rivals
Offers- Mississippi State, Arkansas State, Southern Miss and UAB
Status- Committed to Mississippi State
Daniel is somewhat of a mystery. He has a great frame and after a redshirt year with Balis I expect him to gain a lot of weight and be listed as an offensive tackle.

Barron Dixon- DE, 6-4 250, 4.9, Alpharetta, GA
3* Scout; 3* Rivals
Offers- Mississippi State, Arkansas, Maryland, MTSU and Vanderbilt
Status- Committed to Mississippi State
Barron committed to Mississippi State on January 13th. It is a huge pick up in my opinion because he is your typical DE. Don't let his listed 4.9 40 fool you, he is quick off the ball. I don't think he will redshirt because we are low on DE's. He has an honest chance at getting some playing time as a true freshman.

Rufus Warren- TE, 6-5 238, Indianola, MS
3* Scout; 3* Rivals
Offers- Mississippi State and Delta State
Status- Committed to Mississippi State
Rufus is a big possession Tight End, I think he will gain a little weight but not much. I expect him to redshirt his freshman year and then step in with a chance for playing time as a few Tight End's will be graduating.

Justin Cox- CB, 6-1 175, 4.4, West Point, MS
3* Scout; 3* Rivals
Offers- Mississippi State, Arkansas State, Louisiana Tech, Memphis and Alcorn State
Status- Committed to Mississippi State
Justin will surprise a few people. He is a tall, rangy cornerback who played quarterback in high school. He is one of the top 3 fastest seniors in Mississippi this year. He will be very comparable to Johnthan Banks.

Devin Fosselman- WR, 5-9 192, 4.45, Woodville, MS
3* Scout; 3* Rivals
Offers- Mississippi State, Memphis, Southern Miss, Southern and Alcorn State
Status- Committed to Mississippi State
Devin will most likely be play the H or the Z. He is undersized but his hands and speed make up for it. He will be a guy that will get you the first down. He loves Mississippi State and he will come in and work hard from day one.

Derrick Milton- RB, 5-11 205, 4.5, Hargrave Military Acadamy
3* Scout; 3* Rivals
Offers- Mississippi State, Tennessee, Memphis and Ole Miss
Status- Uncommitted
Derrick is very comparable to Vick Ballard, he doesn't have blazing speed, but he will beat you. He is also a very physical back. I think there is about a 70% chance that he will commit to Mississippi State this weekend.

Benardrick McKinney- OLB, 6-4 200, Tunica, MS
2* Scout; 3* Rivals
Offers- Mississippi State
Status- Committed to Mississippi State
Benardrick is a long, rangy OLB who is comparable to K.J. Wright. He will definitely need a redshirt year to get bigger and stronger. Give him a couple years backing people up and learning the system and I think he will be a fine backer.

I would expect one commit this weekend and that is from Milton. I think we will get McReynolds but that will be signing day decision.
