STARKVILLE — Mississippi State wide receiver Lideatrick Griffin is giving MSU’s recruiting department a run for its money.
Griffin has been hyperactive on Twitter in recent weeks, making his case for the Bulldogs to players announcing their intent to transfer.
Transfers Transfers Come Holla At TULU!!! THE MANE WITH THE PLANNN🤝🖤#HAILDAMNSTATE🐶

Dispatch sports editor Theo DeRosa ranked Griffin’s top 10 recruiting pitches so far.
10. Southern Arkansas WR Andre Thomas Jr.
A first-team all-Southeastern Conference kick returner, Griffin is fast. But is the 5-foot-6 dynamo Thomas faster?
Aye I wanna race him AT PRACTICE 🐶🖤…MAROONNNNNNNNNNNNN WHITEEEEEEEEEEEEE🐶🔛🔝🔜 https://t.co/BQp3iZ0OWh

9. Miami CB Al Blades Jr.
Many MSU players and coaches have made a second home in Starkville. Griffin hopes Blades — a former four-star corner — could be the next.
Come join your NEW home🐶💯 https://t.co/U4DkzQb0fQ

8. Alabama G Javion Cohen
Griffin knows Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers would thrive behind the Crimson Tide’s starting left guard.
Zero sacks??? QB1 Gone Have Fun Bac Dere🤪 https://t.co/7lAqmvZWfW

7. Florida LB Diwun Black
Well, they say to keep it simple.
I Wanna Play With Diwun Black👀👀 I NEED HIM HEA💯

6. Tennessee WR Jimmy Calloway
Hearing Calloway “planned” to transfer, Griffin had other intentions for the former four-star wideout.
He need to “plan” to play with US👀👀👀👀👀👀 https://t.co/49EOLzZL3r

5. Texas RB Keilan Robinson
Griffin was happy to empathize with the Longhorns running back in an attempt to sway his transfer decision.
Yahh not good at all🤦🏾♂️..come play w me😁#HailState🐶 https://t.co/KDQA8z8Xvd

4. Old Dominion WR Ali Jennings III
Mississippi State would certainly be thankful to land the all-Sun Belt receiver, who recorded 959 yards and nine touchdowns in 2022.
I’m thankful to be your teammate SOON🤞🏾🖤 https://t.co/zjQouuxHb1

3. Oklahoma WR Theo Wease Jr.
No. 10 hasn’t been worn on offense for Mississippi State since Makai Polk in 2021, so Griffin makes an appeal to convenience.
Yeen gotta change your number when you come my guy🐶🖤 just lmk when you ready😎 https://t.co/672ZgjyeSa

2. Jacksonville State WR Theodore Lockley
After just one season at Jacksonville State, Lockley said “circumstances out of my control” drove him to transfer. Griffin was ready.
Let’s play together in your control then💯 https://t.co/4hYHWF41D2

1. Indiana LB Dasan McCullough
A 6-foot-5, 225-pound edge rusher, McCullough would be a great addition for the Bulldogs — provided he takes it easy on Griffin.
Come play w me gang💯…long as you promise NOT to hit me at practice 😁 https://t.co/H80vWgomMF
