1. Percy Lewis (Offensive Tackle)

Percy Lewis is one of the top JUCO players in the country and the guy that is most likely to make an instant impact in Starkville next fall.

Lewis was a coveted prospect along the offensive line due to his supposed readiness to step in right away at the Power-5 level and make an impact.

This is a Mississippi State football team that is going to need that kind of impact on the offensive line next fall and the Bulldogs have to be glad to be landing Lewis.

Lewis checks in at 6-8/360 LBS and is a mauler of a blocker. The run game should improve with Lewis on the offensive line, but he needs to work on pass protection.

Leach’s offense is pass-heavy so that could be a concern for Lewis making an instant impact. However, Lewis’s talent is evident and he is going to be a welcome addition to the offensive line for Mississippi State next fall.
