Mississippi State Football: Why Martin Emerson the SEC’s most underrated corner

Related Topics: Southeastern Conference

As the SEC boasts some of the most prolific talents at wideout, a formidable lockdown corner is essential for any secondary.

Emerson is a hard-hitter with athleticism. At 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, he matches up well with the height of the SEC’s best.

As a freshman, Emerson posted 32 total tackles, 17 solos in 2019. Having played in all 13 games, he added an interception, forced a fumble, and broke up two passes.

A sophomore that plays like a senior, Emerson will make the most of every opportunity as the starter in 2020. Look for him to take chances and not play for numbers.
