A young stud already making serious recruiting noise is Moody, who picked up an offer from Mississippi State. The 2029 prospect also holds offers from LSU, Ole Miss, Miami, Tennessee and Texas A&M. I like how quickly his recruitment is taking off, especially with both in-state SEC programs now involved. He's definitely a name Mississippi recruiting fans should get familiar with.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.

One thing I like about this week's group is the mix of players getting opportunities. You've got seniors earning their first offers, younger prospects drawing SEC attention and a productive junior running back getting his foot in the door. That's what makes Mississippi recruiting interesting — there's always another name ready to make some noise.
