Mississippi State sophomore quarterback Wesley Carroll has come a long way since this time last year.
“I was just hoping to make the third team and travel with the team to be there for all the games. I just wanted to learn the system, get accustomed to Mississippi and get to know everybody.”
But due to a rash of injuries, Carroll was thrust into the starting line-up. And while the State offense wasn’t always a thing of beauty, he did lead the Bulldogs to an 8-5 record and a bowl win.
Now he’s looking to build on last year.
“I expect leadership from the guy. You don’t have to be a senior for us to expect that of you,” said Sylvester Croom.
“He’s played enough and he just knows about the position, he is respected by the players and he has earned his spot by preparing and playing well on the field.”
