A.J. Brown, a four-star wide receiver from Starkville, has said it without saying it that his final three are Mississippi State, Alabama and Ole Miss. With the hometown pressure hanging over him, most folks have speculated that he's leaning towards staying home to play for the Bulldogs.
But the rumors are heating up that Brown -- ranked by 247 as the No. 5 wideout in the country and the third best player in the state of Mississippi -- is seriously considering making the trek north to Oxford. For starters, he's pretty friendly with a certain Biletnikoff Award finalist who resides in Oxford.
