Offensive tackle Mario Nash Jr. has decided to commit to Mississippi State over LSU, Clemson, and Ole Miss. The highly sought-after recruit from Mississippi made the surprise decision in June, after completing four official visits with each school.
Nash had been impressed by the consistent recruitment efforts of the Bulldogs coaching staff, particularly Coach Kennedy’s coaching style and Coach Lebby’s personality. Although visits to Clemson and LSU also stood out to him, Nash felt most comfortable with Mississippi State, who had been actively recruiting him throughout the off-season.
Nash’s talent was recognized when he was named the Offensive Line MVP at the Rivals Camp Series stop in Dallas. He showcased his versatility by playing multiple positions along the offensive line and excelled in pass protection against top defensive linemen. With his agility and ability to absorb and control contact, Nash proved to have a high upside at various positions on the offensive line, especially guard.
