Four-star Receiver Prospect Chooses Mississippi State

There’s an old razor in college football recruiting circles that stipulates, “It’s never over until the ink is dry.” Or something to that effect. Well, with apologies to the officialdom preserved by National Letters of Intent, verbal commitments are the next best thing. And new Mississippi State Bulldogs head football coach Mike Leach recently secured his third verbal pledge for the 2021 class in four-star wide receiver Malik Nabers. The 6-foot, 185-pounder is a rising senior from Comeaux High School in Lafayette, Louisiana and he chose the maroon-wearing Bulldogs over 30 other offers, including Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Penn State, Miami (FL), Arkansas, Auburn, Tennessee and Georgia.
