(after thought as a signee or walkon that turned out to be a pretty good steal for us)

Walt Harris. A package deal with Rodney Hudson that turned out to be All-SEC and a long time pro.

David Stewart, Ed Smith, Kevin Sluder, Daniel Boyd, Titus Brown, Barrin Simpson I'll say Stewart or Simpson is the most underrated.

...after being one of the most highly recruited HS QBs in the nation and signing with Notre Dame. I would not have expected a QB playing DE to do as well as he did for MSU.

he walked on after two years at Hinds, and took over after Hazelwood graduated, and while his leg strength was not mind blowing or anything like that, he was extremely accurate, extemely accurate in the clutch, and he had a good enough leg strength to make pretty much any FG from 50 in.

You really couldn't ask for much more out of a kicker.

if Dicenzo gets that ball down, Westerfield makes that. And if it was the snappers fault, my apologies to Dicenzo.

...but he would inexplicably miss chip shots early in games. I recall a couple of missed field goals, and specifically, a missed *extra point* against Kentucky in 99. Few people remember that we were in the position we were in late in that game because he missed that extra point earlier. Granted, he made up for it with the late FG, but you get the point.

I still say Brent Smith was one of the best kickers we ever had at State. His problem was that he played on Jackie's last team and we sucked horribly.
