On Monday, The Dispatch took a look at Mississippi State’s 2022 signing class.

And there are plenty of other players who might just become Bulldogs when the early signing period begins Wednesday.

The Dispatch identified seven top targets for Mississippi State who are currently uncommitted or pledged to other schools.

 

Trevion Williams

Crystal Springs

Position: Edge rusher, 4 stars

Height: 6-foot-4.5

Weight: 254 pounds

Williams has yet to make his college choice, but the Bulldogs would love to land the talented pass-rusher to fill an area of need. Williams, who per 247 Sports took an official visit to Mississippi State on the weekend of Dec. 3, tweeted he will sign at 11 a.m. Wednesday. The Bulldogs could use an edge rusher to join returning defensive end Jordan Davis, who missed the 2021 season with a reported ACL injury.

 

Khamauri Rogers

Holmes County Central

Position: Cornerback, 4 stars

Height: 6-foot

Weight: 165 pounds

The third-ranked prospect in the state of Mississippi, Rogers has been out since late September with a torn ACL. He is committed to Miami, but the Bulldogs reportedly still have interest. Mississippi State likely will lose corner Martin Emerson to the NFL draft and could use Rogers on the other side of Emmanuel Forbes.

 

Percy Lewis

Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C.

Position: Offensive lineman, 3 stars

Height: 6-foot-8

Weight: 360 pounds

The hulking Lewis committed to Oregon on June 28 but decommitted Nov. 23. A product of McAdams High School, Lewis also visited Mississippi State on Dec. 3. He also has been receiving interest from Ole Miss. With Charles Cross projected as a first-round NFL draft pick and Scott Lashley out of eligibility, Lewis could step into a tackle spot for the Bulldogs.

 

DeCarlos Nicholson

Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C.

Position: Cornerback, 3 stars

Height: 6-foot-3

Weight: 200 pounds

A big, physical corner, Nicholson is committed to Kentucky after pledging to Mississippi State on July 6 but decommitting on Aug. 14. Nicholson told Sports Illustrated he will sign Wednesday and enroll early in January. Whether or not the Bulldogs land Rogers, they could use Nicholson in the secondary.

 

Trent Ramsey

Tampa, Florida

Position: Offensive lineman, 3 stars

Height: 6-foot-4

Weight: 275 pounds

The tackle from Carrollwood Day School in Tampa recently took an official visit to Starkville. Mike Leach and the Bulldogs’ staff returned the favor, visiting Ramsey in the Sunshine State. Ramsey also would help bolster Mississippi State’s depth at tackle.

 

Avery Sledge

Forrest County Agricultural

Position: Edge rusher, 3 stars

Height: 6-foot-4

Weight: 210 pounds

The tall, lean Sledge is committed to Tulane. But he picked up an offer from Mississippi State in mid-November and could choose the Bulldogs. Sledge would help MSU deepen its position group and aid its pass rush.

 

Kalvin Dinkins

Lake

Position: Defensive lineman, 3 stars

Height: 6-foot-3

Weight: 310 pounds

The defensive tackle provides size on the D-line. Mississippi State, which just offered Dinkins on Dec. 1, could use it. He could help provide depth behind Jaden Crumedy, Cameron Young, Nathan Pickering and others. Dinkins announced Monday he will sign at 8 a.m. Wednesday.
