Mississippi State forward KeShawn Murphy enters the transfer portal
Mississippi State forward KeShawn Murphy entered the transfer portal on Wednesday, sources confirmed to Maroon and White Daily. Before Wednesday’s decision, the Birmingham, Ala., native was the only Bulldog on the 2023-24 roster that was waiting to make a decision on his future intentions.
Murphy joins guard Shakeel Moore, guard Trey Fort and forward Jaquan Scott as Bulldogs from the 2023-24 roster that have entered the transfer portal.
This past season the 6-foot-10 and 235-pound Murphy played in 21 games and averaged 4.7 points and 3.1 rebounds a game. Murphy shot 45.9% from the field, 17.9% from 3 point range and 69.6% from the free throw line. He will have two seasons of remaining eligibility at the college level.
As a redshirt freshman in the 2022-23 season, Murphy averaged 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 rebounds. In that season he shot 41.8% from the floor, 28.1% from 3 point territory and 63.6% from the foul line. Due to injuries, Murphy redshirted in the 2021-22 season after initially signing with former Bulldog head coach Ben Howland.
