Another really good add to that offensive staff this offseason that includes Phillip Montgomery and Kevin Johns.

Year 3 is when rebuilding turns into results. For Mississippi State, real progress starts with the offensive line—because better protection leads to better quarterback play, more close-game wins, and a chance to change the narrative.

Mississippi State's SEC Media Days choices reveal more than talent—they reveal leadership. Kelley Jones represents the defensive identity the Bulldogs need as they look to take a step forward.

Anthony Evans is generating major buzz entering SEC Media Days, with some projecting him to lead the conference in receiving yards. If he delivers, Mississippi State's offense becomes much tougher for defenses to contain. #MississippiState#CollegeFootball#SEC#HailState
SEC Media Days is about more than interviews—it's about showing who leads your program. Mississippi State's offensive line remains one of the biggest question marks, making leadership up front just as important as performance on Saturdays. #CollegeFootball#SEC#HailState
Mississippi State's SEC Media Days representatives tell the story of the program: Kamario Taylor, Anthony Evans, and Kelley Jones reflect the leadership and expectations the Bulldogs are taking into 2026.

You don't want to miss tomorrow's episode as @yoshawn_hudson joins the show. He discusses the decommitment rumors, why Mississippi State is so special and his thoughts on quarterback Kamario Taylor, which includes a funny story from Taylor's high school days. #HailState
Mississippi State's path to a turnaround starts on defense. With Zach Arnett back calling plays, the Bulldogs have a chance to rebuild their identity and take a meaningful step forward in 2026.

ESPN's FPI projects Mississippi State for five wins, and the schedule is a big reason why. The Bulldogs may have a higher ceiling, but turning potential into results is what will define the season.
#MississippiState#CollegeFootball#SEC#HailState#LockedOn
ESPN's FPI isn't predicting what will happen—it's estimating what's most likely based on roster strength, returning production, recruiting, and schedule. Mississippi State can outperform the projection, but it'll have to prove it on the field.

A tough schedule is easier to evaluate when you break it into thirds. If Mississippi State can stack a strong first third and avoid a collapse in the middle, bowl eligibility stays firmly in reach.
#MississippiState#CollegeFootball#SEC#HailState#LockedOn
@RickyRickston I think State has to go at worst 3-1 in the first four games. If you go 3-1 in that stretch and 3-1 to close the season, that's at least 6-6. Could be 7-5 if you upset one of the big four in the middle of the schedule.
Starting 2-0 is the expectation, but Minnesota could be the swing game that shapes Mississippi State's season. It's less about talent and more about avoiding the kind of letdown that derails bowl hopes before SEC play. #MississippiState#CollegeFootball#SEC#TrapGame#HailState
Mississippi State clearing 4.5 wins isn't about pulling off miracles—it's about taking care of business. If the Bulldogs get better quarterback play, improved offensive line play, and defensive growth under Zach Arnett, 5-6 wins are within reach.

Brooks Austin believes Kamario Taylor has the traits to thrive in Mississippi State's offense, but the Bulldogs' ceiling depends on more than the quarterback. Better protection and defensive improvement will determine how far this team can go. #CollegeFootball#SEC#HailState
