Brandon McRae (#6)
Mississippi State’s WR Brandon McRae’s (Sr. 6’4, 205 lbs.) 2008 season ended abruptly in the second quarter as he had to be carted off the field in the Egg Bowl against Ole Miss with a broken leg. The Bulldogs were crushed 0-45. He suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and had to have his leg immobilized. McRae missed all of spring practice recovering from the injury. McRae says he is ready to go and is listed as a starter on the team’s depth chart.
Last season, McRae led the Bulldogs with 51 catches for 518 yards and three touchdowns. He was a transfer from Moorehead State in 2006.
The Bulldogs and new head coach Dan Mullen hope to see a full recovery as he wants to develop his core receivers to execute his spread offense to improve on the team’s ’08 4-8 record.
