Every year, a player or two emerges as a highly important player. Sometimes, it’s expected; sometimes, it’s a surprise.
Here are two players who should be expected to become rising stars for Mississippi State in 2016.
WR DONALD GRAY: Senior Fred Ross again will be Mississippi State’s top target at wide receiver, but the early departure to the NFL by De’Runnya Wilson means the Bulldogs will be looking for a No. 2 receiver. That’s where Gray comes in. Gray, a junior, had 21 receptions for 386 yards and two TDs last season, his first at Mississippi State after transferring in from junior college.
