1999/2000 Mississippi State Football Recruiting Prospects

02/01/00
This list was put together based on information that I have found in various sources. I will update it as I hear, see or receive more information. If you know of a player that MSU is recruiting and is not on this list or have information about a player on this list, please email it to me. I want this list to be as up-to-date as possible. If a player is known to be leaning to a school or schools, the school/s will be in bold lettering. The listing of schools is in no particular order.
