STARKVILLE -- Mississippi State co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach John Hevesy used to tell Rufus Warren he would be an offensive lineman before his career was over.
The senior began his Bulldog career as a tight end, but his weight was always a concern and continued to go up. Even though Hevesy was joking with Warren about the move to the offensive line, the move became more and more likely for the Indianola native as he grew from a 250-pound freshman to a 265-pound sophomore.
