Nelson Adams, DL, Brandon
Measurables: 6-4, 290
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: He is big an physical and will likely play on the interior of the defensive front, but he has the athleticism he could see some time at defensive end.
Quadry Antoine, S, Belle Chase, La.
Measurables: 5-11, 205
Star rating: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: Has good size and athleticism and could easily see time on special teams early on.
Devon Bell, P, Vicksburg (Warren Central)
Measurables: 6-2, 180
Star ratings: 247sports 2, Rivals 2, Scout 3
Notes: Given the fact the Bulldogs will need to add a punter to the mix this is a key pickup for Dan Mullen and crew.
Torrey Bell, DL, New Orleans (John Curtis)
Measurables: 6-4, 222
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: He projects to be a standup, rush defensive end for the Bulldogs. He has the ability to drop into coverage in a linebacker type position.
Ryan Brown, DL, Marrero, La. (Shaw)
Measurables: 6-4, 240
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes:
Cole Carter, OT, Caledonia
Measurables: 6-5, 290
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 2, Scout 3
Notes: Listed as a offensive tackle due to his size, but he is a couple years away from having a shot at the field, as you might expect with a freshman offensive lineman.
Devon Desper, C, Madison (Madison Central)
Measurables: 6-4, 300
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: Despar will certainly add depth at the center position but with Dillon Day in the mix already and the addition of Dylan Holley he will have a couple of years to develop.
Deonte Evans, WR, McComb
Measurables: 5-11, 190
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: ThisMississippi athlete could play several positions in college. Dan Mullen will likely try him out in the backfield at first but he could land anywhere.
Xavier Grindle, RB, Columbia (E. Marion)
Measurables: 5-11, 195
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: Grindle certainly projects as a running back for the Bulldogs but he will not be forced into immediate duty due to the depth at the position.
Brandon Holloway, ATH, Tampa, Fla. (Alonso)
Measurables: 5-10, 160
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: Speed, speed, and then more speed. This kid is a legit track start and will bring a different element to the field for MSU.
A.J. Jefferson, DL, Summit (North Pike)
Measurables: 6-2, 240
Star ratings: 247sports 4, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: While I’m not 100 percent sure he will play early, he certainly has the potential to be a very solid performer along the defensive front.
Cedric Jiles, CB, Clinton
Measurables: 5-10, 170
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: A little bit raw, but has 4.4 type speed and will be a good addition to the MSU secondary.
Nick Schuessler, QB, Loganville, Ga. (Grayson)
Measurables: 6-4, 190
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 2, Scout 2
Notes: As a QB he is 39-1 and that’s something the Dan Mullen really likes about this young man, he’s a winner. Given the depth concerns at QB this is a really mice pickup for MSU.
Gus Walley, TE, Leakesville (Greene Co.)
Measurables: 6-4, 220
Star ratings: 247sports 2, Rivals 3, Scout 2
Notes: Missed the end of the season with shoulder and MCL injuries. Will start out as the fourth tight end.
Jordan Washington, DL, Suwanee, Geo. (N. Gwinnett)
Measurables: 6-2, 265
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: Projects to be a defensive tackle for the Bulldogs and will have a shot to help the Bulldogs next season but in all likelihood he will truly be a factor his redshirt freshman season.
Frederick Brown, WR, Jackson (Jim Hill)
Measurables: 6-2, 185
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: After watching Brown during his time at camp this past summer he was a very good route runner with excellent hands.
Kivon Coman, ATH, Florence, Ala.
Measurables: 6-1, 185
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: Coman is one of the most likeable kids in the 2012 signing class. He could see action virtually anywhere in the MSU secondary.
Nick James, DL, Long Beach
Measurables: 6-5, 320
Star ratings: 247sports 4, Rivals 3, Scout 4
Notes: James has work to do in the classroom but when he gets on the field he has freakish athletic ability. He helps from his first day on campus.
Adarrius Perkins, WR, Brooklyn (Forrest Co. AHS)
Measurables: 6-2, 220
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 3, Scout 3
Notes: Perkins brings good size to an under sized receiving group atMississippiState. He has good hands and is a better than average route runner.
Will Redmond, ATH, Memphis East
Measurables: 6-0, 180
Star ratings: 247sports 3, Rivals 4, Scout 4
Notes: Just nasty. This kid is a simply a football player. He has a good chance to be a playermaker his first season on campus.
Artimas Samuel, WR, Columbus, Ga. (Carver)
Measurables: 6-2, 205
Star ratings: 247sports 2, Rivals 3, Scout 2
Notes: Samuel is a nice addition to the class a year earlier than expected. He was going to come in and be a part of the 2013 class, but due to Barnes not signing with MSU a spot opened up.
