2. Lucas Taylor

Mississippi State football is going to have veteran pieces on their offense next season. The wide receivers, running backs, and most importantly, the quarterback positions are going to return veteran players.

The one unit that is not going to be as veteran-laden is the offensive line. The Bulldogs could be losing as many as three starters up front and are going to need some talented guys to step up and replace them.

Lucas Taylor is a 6-5/310 LBS interior linemen from Mobile, Alabama. Taylor is a giant of a player and moves well for his size, so he’ll be an ideal candidate to fill one of Mississippi State’s holes on the offensive line.

There are going to be multiple openings along the interior of the Bulldogs and Taylor should be considered one of the candidates to fill one of those spots. He is going to be raw as a prospect, but the upside is there for Taylor to make an impact instantly.
