Who they brought in -
Officially, the Mustangs signed 39 high school recruits with no transfers. Defensively, LB Stephon Moody looks to be a steal. He was on the Dave Campbell Texas Football top 300 list in the preseaon, and a 2nd team All San Antonio Area choice in the postseason. Slated for the secondary are Daveon Parrish, Marqui Christian, Jeremiah Payne, and Malcolm McKinney. Up front Robert Kitchen, Blake Burdette (LB) and Brandon Wilson are the top names. Offensively, Jacorey McQueen was an HM All-State selection, throwing for 3,065 yards and 28 TDs, while rushing for 831 yards and 14 TDs. Running back Jamarick Simmons (1,544 yards and 19 TDs) was also an HM selection, and Harvey Giddens (1,724 yards 24 TDs) and Dante Taylor (1,071 yards rushing, 700 yards receiving). WRs Blaine Curren and Breion Evans had over 1,000 receiving yards, while Statron Jones fell just short. Of the seven offensive linemen, Raymond Shutak (2nd All State) is described as a find by Coach Maskill.
Unofficially, we have heard of 8 transfers coming in as well. Helping fill the void at WR are Kendall Wrenn (Butler CC), Markell Templeton, Ricky Collins (both from Trinity Valley CC) and Steve McNair Jr (Pearl River CC), though a recent article in the Times Record News casts some doubt on McNair being eligible. On the defensive side of the ball, LB Vernon Brooks spent one year at Kansas after an All-American year at Blinn, and defensive backs Dayvion Henry, Josh Reed (both Trinity Valley CC) and Taiyon Jackson (Bakersfield College) will at a minimum add depth to the Mustangs secondary. And in the LSC, you can never have too many talented DBs.
Overall Grade A+ (or B+ without the transfers)
The Mustangs had a lot of holes to fill and (it appears) did bring in some ready made help at WR and the secondary especially and also at LB. If those rumored transfers do not materialize, MSU still did a good job building for down the road, covering every position with promising prospects.
