Trestan Ebner's portfolio of football scholarship opportunities has become decidedly more SEC flavored in recent days.

As of Wednesday, thanks to an offer from Mississippi State, the Henderson receiver now has four options out of the Southeastern Conference. You can be sure the quartet's league rivals are tracking the moves closely.

Ebner (5-11, 180) reported his latest offer through his personal Twitter account.

The Bulldogs program followed Arkansas, Missouri and Ole Miss into the 2017 prospect's thought process. He has 12 additional offers from Arkansas State, Colorado State, Houston, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, North Texas, SMU, Syracuse, TCU, UTSA and Tulsa to lead all local junior prospects in sheer volume of FBS offers.

Ebner helped Henderson to a 7-3 finish in 2015, but his squad missed the playoffs due to the combination of games it lost within District 9-4A Division I. However, Henderson closed the year with a bang by defeating a Kilgore team that had already clinched the league championship.

Mississippi State posted an 8-4 regular season record last year and only lost to opponents ranked 14th or higher in the Associated Press' weekly polls. It then thoroughly defeated North Carolina State in the Belk Bowl to finish the campaign.

Dan Mullen is starting his eighth year as head coach in Starkville, Miss. His Bulldogs teams have finished seasons ranked two times and have reached bowl games six times.

Mullen has not endured a losing season since his first year in 2009 -- a 5-7 record -- and that followed a 4-8 season in 2008 under Sylvester Croom.

Mississippi State is a year removed from a 10-2 regular season with three wins against top 10 teams.

As far as professional potential, Mullen's staff has produced seven first or second-rounders in the NFL Draft. Twenty players have been selected through the draft's seven rounds in total since Mullen coached his first Bulldogs team.

Quarterback Dak Prescott was selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft last month, presumably as a long-term option to ultimately succeed Tony Romo. Defensive linemen Chris Jones and Will Redmond went earlier in the draft to the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, respectively.

Ebner, like all high school football prospects currently in their junior year, will become eligible to sign with any program that offers him in February.
