Gulfport running back Cooper Crosby announces commitment to Mississippi State

GULFPORT, Miss. (WXXV) — A big announcement came from one of South Mississippi’s top high school football players on Tuesday evening.

Gulfport running back Cooper Crosby announced his commitment to Mississippi State. The senior chose the Bulldogs over Auburn, both of which heavily pursued the Admirals standout throughout the fall.

Crosby will sign his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday morning at Gulfport High School. He’ll look to end his high school career on a high note as he leads the Admirals into the MHSAA Class 7A State Championship on Saturday.
