Four-star linebacker Willie Gay has committed to Mississippi State.
Gay made his announcement Wednesday morning on National Signing Day at Starkville (Miss.) High.
The school likely will announce when it has received Gay’s LOI via fax.
The 6-foot-1½, 223-pound Gay chose the Bulldogs over other finalists Ole Miss, LSU and Michigan. The Bulldogs, along with the Tigers, were considered Gay’s two primary favorites entering Wednesday.
Mississippi State is located in Starkville, Gay’s hometown.
Before Wednesday, Gay had at one time been committed to Ole Miss from June 17-Oct. 24, 2016.
