2024 QB Josh Flowers decommits from Mississippi State

Mobile (Ala.) Baker High School three-star quarterback Josh Flowers has decommitted from Mississippi State.

Flowers had previously been committed to the Bulldogs since June but opted to reopen his recruitment after new head coach Jeff Lebby was hired.

“First, I want to thank the coaches and staff for recruiting me,” he wrote on Twitter. “It was an honor to be the first commit of the 2024 class. Next I want to thank amazing State fans for making me feel at home. My ears are still ringing from the cow bells at the Egg Bowl. In the light of the recent events and changes, I believe it is my interest to decommit from Mississippi State. My recruitment is now 100% open.”
