This week we’re taking a team-by-team look at some of the intriguing freshmen on SEC teams and who among them could be instant-impact players.
Next up are the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
WR Jamal Couch: Listed as an outside linebacker on his ESPN profile, Couch played both ways in high school but is projected to play wide receiver when he gets to Starkville. At 6-foot-5, he will instantly become the tallest receiver on Mississippi State’s roster. In fact, with De'Runnya Wilson and Fred Brown no longer on the team, all three of the projected starters (Fred Ross, Malik Dear and Gabe Myles) are listed at 6-0 or shorter.
