Just down the road from Mississippi State’s Davis Wade Stadium on Wednesday’s National Signing Day, Starkville High defensive lineman Kobe Jones put on a maroon and white visor to signify he was officially a Bulldog. Only moments later, SHS wide receiver A.J. Brown donned the red and blue colors of MSU’s instate rival, Ole Miss. Just like that, a pair of longtime teammates became rivals.
Meanwhile north of town, West Point’s Scott Lashley was already the newest member of the Alabama offensive line having submitted his paperwork to the Crimson Tide earlier in the morning.
