Hammond to Wear Maroon and White

Gadsden City High School has seen several of their alumni go on to play college football. A few have signed on with SEC programs. Earlier today, wide receiver B.J. Hammond verbally committed to Dan Mullen and the Bulldogs of Mississippi State marking the third wide receiver commitment towards the 2013 signing class.

B.J. Hammond had been learning Mississippi State's way for a few weeks and he informed FOXSportsNext of his intentions to commit to Mississippi State yesterday.

Hammond followed through with those plans and made his decision official earlier today.

Hammond chose the Bulldogs over offers from Arkansas State, Auburn, LSU, Memphis, Ole Miss, Purdue and UAB.

We will have much more with B.J. later in the day.
