Spencer Dowland made it official on Wednesday, signing his National Letter of Intent with Mississippi State.
The talented Athens offensive lineman committed to head coach Jeff Lebby and the Bulldogs in late November, just a few days after decommitting from Auburn.
Dowland, a 3-star prospect rated the No. 66 offensive tackle in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite, also held offers from Tennessee, Florida State, Arkansas and Ole Miss — among others.
He graded at 90 percent this season and is set to participate in this year’s Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game in Mobile on Dec. 14.
“I’m thankful to be able to go and be a part of a program that is on the come up,” Dowland said. “I really feel that the coaches are turning things around there and I look forward to being a part of it.”
