Mario Haggan played football at Mississippi State from 1998 to 2002, playing both linebacker and defensive end.
A native of Clarksdale, Miss., Haggan was a part of the greatest stretch of football in MSU history, starting his first year on campus. He helped guide the Bulldogs to their first-ever appearance in the SEC Championship Game after winning the SEC West, and continuing with Joe Lee Dunn's famous defense that finished the 1999 season No. 1 in the country.
A four-year letterman, Haggan established himself as one of the best linebackers in school history. He played in three bowl games and was a first-team All-SEC selection and a second-team All-American in 2000. He led the Bulldogs in tackles his last three years, totaling 199 as a senior and finishing with 359, the eighth-most in program history.
A seventh-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2003, Haggan played 10 years in the NFL. He finished with 282 tackles, nine sacks, eight forced fumbles and one interception.
Haggan was named Mississippi State’s SEC Legend in 2015.
