As 12-year-old Joshua Freeman made his 160-mile trek from Ellisville to Starkville on Saturday for Mississippi State’s Fan Day, he did so with one primary goal in mind.
“I want to meet Dak Prescott,” Freeman said.
Freeman was just one of several thousand Bulldog fans to gather at MSU’s Palmeiro Center for the chance to get autographs and photos from Mississippi State athletes and coaches.
Mississippi State assistant coordinator of marketing Rhett Hobart, one of the key behind-the-scenes organizers of Saturday’s occasion, said over 5,000 schedule posters were distributed to fans within under an hour of doors opening for the two-hour event.
