While most of the recruiting buzz in the SEC tends to revolve around top programs like Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas and LSU, there are plenty of other important battles going on throughout the conference. Mississippi State was involved in one of those and was about to pull out the victory on Saturday.

Defensive tackle Kaleb Morris had been a hot recruit in recent weeks, with new offers coming in from Auburn, Kentucky, Georgia Tech and Oklahoma State. However, after arriving in Starkville for his official visit to Mississippi State, he decided to end his process with a commitment to the Bulldogs.
Morris, who plays his high school football at Mary Montgomery High School in Semmes, Alabama, is 6-foot-4, 260 pounds and becomes the 11th overall commitment and first defensive tackle for the Bulldogs for the Class of 2026.
During his junior season he finished with 62 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and five sacks.
