I have to do 2-
As a kid- it was John Bond. Loved watching him run the option out of the Bone. My Dad was a coach and ran the Wishbone as well- and I would pretend to be Bond all the time.
As an adult- it's Prescott. Dynamic player, leader, and everything you can ask for in a State player. This is the Golden Age of State football right now
Honorable Mention- Robert Bean. Played some of the best CB Scott Field has ever seen and was an expert at blocking kicks.
Ashley Cooper. Honorable mention Fred Smoot.
I have 1a,b,and c:
Dak
Boobie
Smoot
Football- Dak Prescott. Best player I've ever seen at State at the most important position on the field. Two time 1st team All-SEC. Legitimately one of the top 5 QBs in the SEC in the past 20 years. Great leader.
Basketball- Derrick Zimmerman. Great athlete and leader on some of the best MSU basketball teams ever, and was always unselfish.
Baseball- Matthew Maniscalco. Tremendous fielder (outside of the one play against ND), made it to AAA but could not hit it well enough to make MLB. This one is a nostalgia pick for me.
I'll do it a little different
Offense - Dak. Nuff said
Defense - Ashley Cooper. Dude just always seemed to be laying someone out at an important time.
Special Teams - Kevin Prentiss. 1998 he just always seemed to be 1 step from breaking it to the house.
Showing my age:
Offense --- Walter Packer
Defense --- Harvey Hull
Offense- Dak for all the reasons coach stated above. Defense - Josh Morgan because he played with a attitude. He never made a play that he didn't have bad intentions when he arrived to the ball.
I have two. Dak Prescott and Ashley Cooper.
Favorite MSU player of all time: Dicenzo Miller.
The personification of what it means to be a Bulldog. Not the biggest, fastest or strongest, but, through sheer grit, toughness and effort, was able to perform at the same level as much more talented players. All hustle, all the time. I have yet to respect a MSU player more for simply leaving all he had on the field.
Honorable Mentions:
Offense: Eric Moulds
Defense: Fred Smoot
Special teams: Tony James
Mine too and I couldn't have stated why any better so I just copied.Quote:

I third thisQuote:

Hamhock Jankins
Darryl Wilson. A prop 48 that became the most clutch performer on arguably the best team MSU has produced on any team.
Dak Prescott is quickly closing the gap for me.
Boobie, because of this:

Mike Hunt
Nobody choosing Derik Taite?***
Football has to be D. Miller as well. That run against BYU where he broke what seemed like 52 tackles to get a TD was unreal. Still remember when the camera cut to the BYU fan and his jaw was around his belly button in disbelief. Both hands on top of his head.
Jerious Norwood, Anthony Dixon, Dak Prescott
in basketball I'll take the starting 5 in 2004 and also Charles Rhodes and Jamont Gordon were fun as hell to watch
Football - Dak Prescott and Chris Relf the Ole Miss killa
Basketball - Charles Rhodes
Baseball - Jacob Lindgren
Offense - Rocky Felker - listening on the radio when I was a kid to his 98 yard drive against Memphis State has always been a great memory for me.
Defense - Ashley Cooper - just loved watching him play.
Awesome interview. Didn't do much for our academic perception, but still an awesome interview.Quote:
