A 6-foot-8, 218 pound wing, Kegler picked Mississippi State over Maryland, Baylor, Indiana and Arizona State.

Bulldogs coach Ben Howland hasn’t even coached a game in Starkville yet, but he’s already establishing himself as an excellent recruiter. On top of Kegler, Howland has received commitments from four-star center Schnider Herard as well as four-star guards Tyson Carter, Lamar Peters and Eli Wright.
