2026 HS/JC Football Recruiting

Mathews got hurt didn't he? I could see us getting him if there is concern over his ACL.

We're aiming a bit higher with remaining receivers. We'll go portaling for 2-3.

I'm cool with that. I was thinking of Matthews as a guy that we might take a flyer on and see how he develops in a year or two anyway. We're going to have to replace Brennen Thompson in the offseason anyway and we need even more talent in the WR room.

I really like Jayden Cration and Zayion Cotton. I don't think we have a true 6'5" long receiver like Cotton that we can target in the red zone.

We may be more in the game than previously thought with Bralan Womack. He's officially visiting tomorrow.

Yeah. That's a surprise.

Wasn?t Auburn his main school? Makes sense he is looking. No idea where we fall on his list if Auburn is out

[ZedFedder]

To have him on campus and visiting like that is a big deal regardless considering how out of the game we have been with the big in state guys.

No. He was long considered an Ohio St lean. Auburn came kind of out of nowhere, big money offer is the rumor. So he may be rethinking. If we're even remotely in the game, we've made up A TON of ground

Allegedly his parents are with him. I always feel like that's a good sign.

[Goldendawg]

National ranking has dropped to #49. Good news is that we got visits from a couple of big names this past Saturday. Mixed news is that they see we need help and can provide immediate playing time as our team didn't show up in so many ways against Georgia.

[ZedFedder]

Saw 247 had a story about us making a move with Womack. Hope that is the case.

[Pancho]

Lebby and crew are trying. gotta wait and see if any quality guys are very interested

[ZedFedder]

Seems like we are making progress with Womack. Any truth?

[StarkVegasSteve]

Seems like we are making progress with Womack. Any truth?

A lot. Most of the national guys seem to think if he doesn't commit to A&M on his visit he'll sign with us. It would be a MASSIVE pickup for Lebby and Co. He's a day 1 starter. Think Caleb Downs.

What’s happened with Stonka? Bad eval by us?

More experienced guys in front.

[BankerDog]

What?s happened with Stonka? Bad eval by us?

You don?t have to chase every 4 star and overpay like our fans seem to think you think. But he was one that if we didn?t get, our fans would be livid.

Keeping Starkville happy is smart though

[BankerDog]

Not to sacrifice the overall good of team. With what we are paying Stonka, we could have brought in another difference maker at DE alongside Will.

You could make that statement for any player getting paid that's not a starter.

Eh. He's young though. I think he is a starter for us at least and we get at least two years of solid production out of him. Maybe three if they change the eligibility rules. Plus he is learning a new position.
