Jocquell Johnson has received valuable advice - on and off the field - from some of his older teammates at Callaway (Miss.) High School. But with former Callaway linemen Aaron Morris and Justin Bell about to begin their college careers, the 6-foot-5 and 290-pound junior knows he must step up.

"Things are going pretty good with Mississippi State," said Johnson. "I call Coach (Greg) Knox some and I stay in pretty good contact with them. I couldn't make it to their spring game or junior day but they let me know they still want me there and want me there for camp. And honestly, I am going to try to make as many camps as I can this summer to help improve my game."
Of the schools recruiting him, Johnson believes a few are close to offering him.
"I think Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Jackson State are close to offering," said Johnson. "Of that group I would say Mississippi State is sticking out to me the most. I say that because they stay in contact with me more and keep me updated with their program. They do that more than Ole Miss does.
"I also feel like it is another home when I go there. I also love their strength program and I feel they are coming up in the SEC."
