2. Mississippi State Bulldogs

I understand that Mississippi State was also an in-state school for Avery to consider, but let’s be honest here. The Louisville football program is in a place right now where it’s not out of the question to commit to the Cards over an SEC Program, or in this case three of them.

The Bulldogs already have incoming safety Johnathon Abram that has signed his letter of intent. Abram is a three-star player from Columbia, Mississippi.

With that being said, Abram is not the type of player that Avery already or is going to be.

It would have been a huge commitment if Mississippi state could have landed Avery, but I guess he just wanted to play for a program that is going to be competing for a National Championship over the next five years.
