The Longest Yard

Found this from the Clarion Ledger, another state player headed to the farm. Does anybody know if Marcus Bullard is still in jail??

For now, Mississippi State football star Pig Prather waits in the Tippah County Jail at Ripley.Soon, Prather will be transported to the State Penitentiary in Parchman, where he is scheduled to being serving a 10-year sentence, with six years suspended and four to serve. He is eligible for parole.Last Thursday, Prather pled guilty to selling less than one gram of crack cocaine (roughly $100 worth) on Nov. 23, 2004. His arresting officer, investigator Chris McCallister, said Prather was picked up in Benton County during part of drug roundup conducted by the Third Judicial District Narcotics Enforement Team.Prather (MSU 1998-2001) will join former teammate Dontae Walker, who is serving time on a drug sentence, at Parchman. Prather was an All-SEC safety in 2000 and 2001 and played briefly in the NFL.
