Bulldogs Welcome 13 Freshmen To Campus For First Summer Term
STARKVILLE - The Mississippi State football program added 13 signees to its ranks on Wednesday, the first day of summer classes.
"It's important for us to get these guys into the program, get acclimated with everything around campus during the summer months," head coach Dan Mullen said. "As vital as it is for them to get involved in the weight room and start the physical preparation, it's just as important for them to get used to the academic work that will be expected."
Beginning their Bulldog careers this week are freshmen Ferlando Bohanna, Kaleb Eulls, Dylan Favre, Nick Griffin, Brandon Hill, Christian Holmes, Jeff Howie, Jay Hughes, Malcolm Johnson, Eric Lawson, Jameon Lewis, Curtis Virges and Matthew Wells.
The 13 freshmen enrollees join three other members of the signing class already on campus. Vick Ballard, James Carmon and Blaine Clausell all enrolled in January and participated in spring practices.
Several other members of the 26-player spring signing class are expected to join the team during the second summer session, which begins in July. The full 2010 Bulldog squad will report to campus in August for the beginning of fall practice.
