Three-star running back Fabian Franklin announced his commitment to Mississippi State on Wednesday via Twitter. Franklin says he’ll be in Starvkille for the next three years — presumably meaning he’ll move on the NFL after his junior season.

Franklin (5 feet 11, 200 pounds), from Hattiesburg (Miss.) High, is considered one of the top-20 running backs nationally as well as a top-three player overall in Mississippi in this recruiting cycle. He also had offers from, among others, Alabama, Ole Miss and Tennessee.
