Byron De'Vinner, the 7-on-7 summer league football coach in Nashville who said Tuesday that he witnessed a booster give Mississippi State freshman defensive back Will Redmond money, told ESPN on Wednesday the same booster told him he provided benefits to "five or six" Mississippi State athletes. De'Vinner told ESPN's Joe Schad the booster, Robert Denton Herring, said that among the athletes he provided benefits to was junior defensive lineman Denico Autry. "He (Herring) told me he provided the benefits," De'Vinner said. "He told me he helped get Denico there. Robert Denton Herring loves State. And he was going to do whatever he could to help State." De'Vinner said Redmond told him it was former Mississippi State wide receivers coach Angelo Mirando who introduced Redmond to Herring, whom he claims provided cash and clothing to the player. Herring lives in Roswell, Ga. De'Vinner also said Herring asked him to help steer a Georgia recruit and an LSU recruit to Mississippi State but he would not do it. "Denton was trying his hardest to get Frank Herron, a 2013 recruit, to come to Mississippi State," De'Vinner said. "He asked me to call his mom and say if he committed to State he could get her a better job. He also told me if Brandon Hill, who did not qualify at Alabama, committed to State, he could get him eligible because of a Mississippi State booster that was a counselor in his school. It comes back to pimping kids. And I wouldn't do it." Herring could not be reached for comment. Mirando said that he is aware of the allegations but would not comment at this time.
