Clear off the trophy case Jake Mangum, you’re about to need the space.
In what will likely be the first of many honors for Mississippi State baseball true freshman Jake Mangum, he was awarded the C-Spire Ferriss Trophy earlier today at a banquet taken place at the Mississippi Sports Museum and Hall of Fame.
The award is given annually to the top collegiate baseball player in the state of Mississippi. Its namesake is in honor of the legendary Mississippi State baseball pitcher and former Boston Red Sox pitcher Boo Ferriss.
There were five finalists for the award.
