With March Madness coming to an end and the NFL Draft approaching, Mississippi State is well underway to preparing for next season. 

Without Dakota Prescott to lead the team next year, the Bulldogs will be looking for Nick Fitzgerald to step up and fill the shoes. With returning wide-outs and a more experienced offensive line, Mississippi State will see how life is without Prescott. 

Next Saturday, April 16 at 11 a.m., the Bulldogs will play their Maroon & White spring game at Davis Wade stadium. Admission is free to everyone who plans to attend the game. The game will be televised via ESPNU as students and fans enjoy  the multiple events Super Bulldog Weekend has to offer. 

There are many new faces, not only players but also coaches as well. One of the biggest additions is the new defensive line Coach Brian Baker. 

“I think as a coach, our responsibility is to earn the right to coach,” Coach Baker said. “You do that by showing players you can help them win.” 

There are many great aspects to expect from the Bulldogs next season. Mississippi State loses one of its best players in history ,but the expectations of greatness the team’s had still remains. 

Fans now look forward to each season expecting the Mississippi State Bulldogs to make the playoffs instead of just making a bowl game.

The football program has really grown over time under the tutelage of Head coach Dan Mullen. Adding new faces with decorated resumes only shows the respect and dedication he has for the school as well as the football program here at Mississippi State University.
