Coach Croom signed 4 JUCO players last year with the intent to have them bring maturity and leadership to the team. Wide receivers Tony Burks and Ryan Mason, left tackle J.D. Hamilton and linebacker Tim Bailey are all epxected to do just that.

“They’re grown men,” said Croom, after the Bulldogs’ first practice of the season. “They bring a level of maturity, and physical and mental toughness that will definitely help this football team. That’s huge for us.”

The addition of Mason and Burks should help out the MState receiver corp, which placed last in the SEC last year.

The Clarion Ledger has a great write up about all 4 men and what they are expected to bring to the team this season.
