MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The 2017 Blue Raider recruiting class has been solidified as one of the best in program history after top prospect Myles Christian decided to forego becoming a Seattle Mariner to enroll at Middle Tennessee this upcoming fall.

Christian, who is the top-ranked outfielder in Mississippi, was drafted by the Mariners in the 18th round with the 543rd pick in the 2017 MLB Draft June 13. The Olive Branch, Miss., native said that the MT coaching staff was a big factor in deciding to come to school at MT.
