Responsible for Tennessee area recruiting, new Mississippi State defensive coordinator (and former Tennessee Titan linebacker) Peter Sirmon looks to have identified a physical player capable of wrecking havoc in his defensive backfield. Judging by his highlight reel, if Guidry can add some weight, don’t be surprised if he ultimately makes the move to linebacker in Starkville.
