Mississippi State closed out the season last weekend, losing 26-14 in the Egg Bowl. Head coach Jeff Lebby closes out his first season in Starkville with a 2-10 record.
The transfer portal officially opens on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers. That means roughly 25% of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year.
