Mississippi Sports Hall of Famer Kent
Hull will be honored Saturday, becoming the fifth person in
Mississippi State history to have his name permanently added to Davis
Wade Stadium.
Hull, who died last year at the age of 50, will join
Jack Cristil, Jackie Parker, D.D. Lewis and his former teammate Johnie Cooks. Members of
Hull's family will take part in the ceremony on the field during
State's (11 a.m.) game with Auburn.
A Greenwood native, Hull was a
four-year starter at center for the Bulldogs before going on to an
11-year NFL career, including participation in four Super Bowls.
Kent's father, Charlie, played three
years (1958-60) for some of State's greatest basketball teams.
