STARKVILLE, Miss. — Rufus Warren is a marked man this season, and he knows it.
Wearing No. 77, the Mississippi State senior is a first-time starter—one of three on the offensive line—and playing a crucial role on the 2015 Bulldogs: left tackle.
That means his primary responsibility is to protect Dak Prescott’s blind side. With the quarterback who finished eighth in Heisman Trophy voting last year as the undeniable key to MSU’s success this season, one could argue that Warren is therefore the most important player on the roster.
If that doesn’t put enough pressure on his shoulders, consider that Warren is a converted tight end.
