Post Top Dawg Recruiting Update.

Mississippi State landed a commitment from Holmes County DL Terrance Hibbler to start the night. As you may have seen on Twitter, Zach Arnett tweeted his commitment GIF three times, meaning two more are still to come.

One of those commitments is Lausanne Collegiate (Memphis) OL Luke Work who should put it out some time soon. The other is Hillcrest Tuscaloosa (Ala.) CB Travaris Banks who will post his commitment on June 18th.

I’ve also put in FutureCast predictions for Mississippi State to land McComb WR SanFrisco Magee and Oak Grove CB PJ Woodland. I don’t think a commitment is imminent with them but I believe State is in a good spot with both prospects.

Winona LB Fred Clark decommitted from Ole Miss this evening after attending Top Dawg camp today. This of course is something to watch going forward.
