You can add another impressive hire to Joe Moorhead’s first coaching staff at Mississippi State as the new Bulldog head coach is bringing in a familiar face that he can trust to run the recruiting operations in Starkville.

Former Penn State Director of Recruiting Michael Villagrana is taking on the same role with Hail State, according to his Twitter account. Moorhead and Villagrana overlapped the last two seasons in Happy Valley.

Villagrana joined James Frankin’s PSU staff in 2015. Under Villagrana’s tenure, Penn State landed the nation’s No. 15 recruiting class in 2015, the No. 20 recruiting class in 2016 and again the No. 15 class in 2016. Penn State currently has the nation’s No. 4 class for the 2018 recruiting cycle.

Villagrana is a graduate of West Virginia. He joined the Mountaineer staff after graduating before moving on to Hampton. Penn State hired him off the Hampton staff.
