MOBILE, Ala. (Dec. 15) – Northeast Jones linebacker Corvell Harrison spent last week representing the state of Mississippi in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic in Mobile.
On Monday, he received the news that his solid performance throughout All-Star Classic Week in Mobile had paid off.
Harrison was offered a scholarship to attend Mississippi State on Monday by Bulldogs head coach Dan Mullen, and immediately accepted the offer to give MSU its 16th verbal commitment of the 2010 recruiting season.
"Today Coach Mullen and Coach Hughes came to the school to visit me," Harrison told Scout.com "Coach Mullen said they were offering me and I told him I would take it. As soon as he said they were offering me and I told him I was committing."
"Despite the fact that his team posted a 1-9 record in 2009, Harrison enjoyed an outstanding senior season recording 81 total tackles and two interceptions during the year to earn him a spot on Mississippi's All-Star Classic roster.
The 6-3, 240-pounder combined the season with a solid week of practice at the All-Star Classic, including a game performance on Saturday that included two tackles, to help earn him is first SEC offer on Monday.
"Because of the All-Star Classic's December date, we felt that there would be players who would be able to use the game and the week of practice to help secure a major college scholarship offer, so we were very pleased to see the news that Corvell had achieved that goal," said All-Star Classic Executive Director Vic Knight.
Harrison's verbal commitment to Mississippi State now means that 36 All-Star Classic players have committed to play at SEC and other FBS schools next year.
