Dan Mullen’s Tuesday night dinner likely tasted better with the news of four-star dual-threat quarterback Jalen Mayden announcing his commitment to Mississippi State. The Class of 2018 quarterback prospect announced his commitment in a video produced by Scout.com.
The Bulldogs secure the quarterback’s commitment over other offers from Nebraska, Baylor, Tennessee and Louisville. Mayden plays his high school ball in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex at Sachse (TX.) High.
In his video, Mayden showcases highlights of current Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott during his playing days for the Bulldogs. Could seeing Prescott lead the area’s NFL team to a division win have helped him choose Mississippi State?
