To bridge the gap from the end of sports for the 2014-15 year to the unofficial beginning of sports for the 2015-16 year (SEC Media Days), we’ll be running four series of four items each over the next month in a feature appropriately, if not creatively, titled four-by-four. With Mississippi State football being the focus, we’ll look at four breakout candidates, four position battles, four potential All-SEC players and four possible statistical leaders.
This week, we’re predicting statistical leaders for MSU’s 2015 season. Today: predicting MSU’s leading tackler.
I thought about going with interceptions for the final prediction set, but those can be a little too random at times and MSU has its leading intercepter back, anyway.
