Alright, so I’ve been digging into this whole Mississippi State football transfer portal thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I wanted to see what kind of changes were happening with the team, especially with Coach Jeff Lebby getting ready for his second season. It’s a whole new ball game, you know?
First thing I did was start looking for any info on who was leaving and who was joining the team. It seemed like a good place to start. I wanted to get the lay of the land, see who the big names were, and figure out what kind of impact these changes might have. It’s like putting together a puzzle, and the transfer portal is a big part of that.
One of the first names that popped up was Jayven Williams, a defensive back from Kennesaw State. Mobile, Alabama guy. This seemed like a big get. I mean, getting a player from another successful program is always a good sign. Then I saw DeAgo Brumfield’s name, a cornerback coming over from Memphis. It looked like they were really trying to strengthen the defense.
I spent hours going through these lists, writing down names, and trying to understand their previous roles and what they might bring to Mississippi State. It felt like I was an investigator, piecing together clues to get the full picture. I mean, we all saw how the team struggled last season, going 2-10. It was rough, and they didn’t even get a win in, you know, the part that really counts. So, it made sense that they’d be shaking things up.
I also learned that the transfer portal isn’t something you can just look up. Only coaches and school administrators can see it, so, you know I had to do some digging around to find out who was in there. From what I read, the moment any player enters his or her name on the portal it becomes viewable by coaches from different schools. It’s like a secret marketplace for college athletes, right? The transfer portal is not public, it is only administrators and coaches for NCAA schools that have access to it.
Then there’s this Will Whitson guy, a defensive lineman from Coastal Carolina. A big dude, 6’5″. It seemed like a solid pickup, really focusing on improving their defensive line. They were losing guys like Emmanuel Forbes to the NFL Draft and others like Cameron Young and LaQuinston Sharp who were just out of eligibility. So, they had some big shoes to fill, and it looked like they were trying their best to do that.
What I found out was that Mississippi State was really serious about using the transfer portal to rebuild the team. They were bringing in players from all over, trying to fill the gaps and improve on their weaknesses. It’s a tough process, but it seems like Coach Lebby is determined to turn things around.
- Scoured multiple sources for transfer news.
- Noted key players joining and leaving.
- Wrote down player details and potential impacts.
- Realized the need for defensive improvements.
- Understood the secrecy of the transfer portal.
- Recognized the efforts to fill roster gaps.
It was a lot of work, but I feel like I have a much better understanding of what’s going on with Mississippi State football now. They’re making moves, and it’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out next season. It is quite clear that Mississippi State was using the transfer portal to make some serious upgrades. I mean, after that tough season, they kind of had to. It’s a whole new game, and it’s going to be exciting to watch.
In the end, after going through all the data and seeing all the changes, I’m actually pretty hopeful for Mississippi State. They’re not just sitting back and accepting another losing season. They’re taking action, and that’s what you want to see as a fan. It’s a tough road ahead, but with the right moves, they could really turn things around. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on them to see how it all unfolds. It is not going to be easy, but it sure is going to be interesting.
Mississippi State is making big moves in the transfer portal.
They are serious about rebuilding and it is going to be exciting to see what happens next. It is clear that Coach Lebby is not messing around. He wants to win, and he is doing what it takes to make that happen. I am excited to see what the future holds for Mississippi State football. It is going to be a wild ride, that is for sure.
