<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With early signing day just around the corner, many of Mississippi's D1 FBS recruits have already made their college decision. Others are still waiting to choose or are simply still garnering attention. Today, we highlight 15 2023 recruits with Division 1 offers who are still available in the 2023 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["107295"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The highly touted senior athlete finishes his high school career with a Mr. Football of 4A honor attached to his name.

On the defensive side of the football, Smith totaled 10 interceptions, 5 passes defended, 76 total tackles, a forced fumble, and 4 tackles for loss. This guy will be remembered as one of Mississippi's most dominant players for a long time. Looking forward into the future, Smith is being pursued as a defensive back at the next level.

His natural twitch off the ball and power that he plays with make him a highly sought after commodity for coaches at the next level. When it comes to pass rushing and run stopping, Bryant is one of the best available defensive linemen in the south east.

With his height, length, and speed, Spencer can be a difference maker at any school he attends at the next level.

Blakes came into the season with official offers from Army, Air Force, Mississippi State, and Colorado State among others, but looks to have entered the sleeper category now. For whatever reason, college teams are missing out on a special talent with the ball in his hands. Blakes has recently added additional offers to many of the state's local junior colleges, so it will be interesting to see if he decides to go to a  4 year he has an offer at already or try to pick up even bigger time interest at the junior college level.
