Mississippi State’s recruiting class just got a little bit bigger. Dan Mullen has added yet another recruit to the class of 2018, and he beat out the likes of Michigan, LSU, Alabama, and Georgia to do so. MSU just earned a commitment from Fabian Franklin, the top running back in the state of Mississippi for the 2018 recruiting cycle.
Coming out of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Franklin stands at 5-11 and weighs in at 200 pounds, just about the perfect mold for a running back in the SEC. His build allows him to complement MSU’s other running back recruit La’damian Webb, 5-9 and 190 pounds, should they both end up coming out of the same backfield in a couple of years.
