Tracking which Mississippi State Bulldogs enter the transfer portal

Mississippi State football's 2024 season has come to an end. The Bulldogs turned in a frustrating 2-10 campaign in Jeff Lebby's first year leading the program. After a year like that, you can expect some major changes to the Mississippi State roster in the offseason.

Frankly every program, regardless of success, sees major roster overturn each offseason these days. That's just life in the transfer portal era. With players free to transfer as they wish and play immediately, plenty of guys in good situation will, at a minimum, test the waters to see what's available to them.

And of course there's players on the other end of the spectrum that are simply hoping to find a place where they can make an impact. There will almost certainly be current Mississippi State players that enter the portal for either of those reasons.

If you want to keep track of which players are considering and committing to Mississippi State out of transfer portal, you can go here...

But for the players leaving the program, you're in the right place.
