Mississippi State Lands Impact 2026 DB Commit Kolby Barrett
Mississippi State Lands Impact 2026 DB Commit Kolby Barrett originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Mississippi State football fans have been waiting for a summer spark, and they just got one. The Bulldogs added a key piece to their 2026 class with the commitment of 3-star safety Kolby Barrett, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound standout from Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Barrett made it official recently with a simple, powerful post on X: Advertisement 'COMMITTED. THANK YOU GOD.' Mississippi State's recruiting under second-year head coach Jeff Lebby continues to take shape, and Barrett is exactly the type of athlete the staff is targeting. A player who is physical, versatile, and eager to lead. Ranked No. 99 among safeties and the No. 34 overall player in Tennessee by the 247Sports Composite, Barrett chose the Bulldogs over offers from Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Purdue, Tulane, and SEC-rival Vanderbilt. The early offer from MSU stood out. 'They cut on my film and trusted my ability,' Barrett said. 'Coach Barnes has been real with me throughout the whole process.' Advertisement Barrett becomes the ninth commit in Mississippi State's 2026 class and the fourth defensive back. MSU now holds the No. 37 national class and sits 10th in the SEC, according to 247Sports. Barrett's decision also comes at a pivotal time. Just two days prior, cornerback Iverson McCoy decommitted from the class. Barrett's pledge helps stabilize the secondary plans and boosts confidence in the Bulldogs' future defensive core. But this is more than just a player addition, Barrett wants to help build something bigger. 'Coach Lebby and I talked about it. We want to get the best 2026 class we can,' he said. 'I definitely want to help recruit for that.' Advertisement He'll be in Starkville for visits starting June 13, joining other 2026 prospects as momentum builds. With SEC experience on the horizon and a system that values early playing time, Barrett sees Mississippi State as a platform to shine, and to help lead. 'I just felt like State was the best opportunity for me,' he added. 'I think great things are ahead.'

Josh Hubbard Breaks Silence on Return to Mississippi State Hoops
Josh Hubbard Breaks Silence on Return to Mississippi State Hoops originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When Josh Hubbard walked into the media room on June 5, it wasn't just another off-season press conference, it was a statement of unfinished business. Advertisement Mississippi State's top scorer for two consecutive seasons is back in maroon and white after exploring the NBA Draft process. While he wasn't projected as a top pick, Hubbard's return instantly changes the tone of the Bulldogs' 2025-26 campaign, from rebuild to reload. 'I learned a lot about my game and what I can improve on,' Hubbard said. 'Obviously, I want to be the best player I can be… I'm not satisfied. We have a lot more in store for this program, and so I'm just excited to be back.' Hubbard, the junior guard from Madison, is already one of the most decorated players in Mississippi State history. He's the only Bulldog to earn All-SEC honors as both a freshman and sophomore. Last season, he averaged 18.9 points per game and shattered school records for most 3-pointers in a season (108), consecutive games with a made 3 (47), and career free-throw percentage (86.6%). But he isn't coming back to chase personal stats. He's coming back to win. Advertisement MSU has made the NCAA Tournament in all three years under Chris Jans but remains winless in March. The Bulldogs have lost seven of their top eight scorers from last season. That turnover hasn't shaken Hubbard's confidence, it's fueled it. 'Just grind and get 1% better each day,' he said. 'One thing we work on each day is just being more vocal, showing that leadership skill.' The Bulldogs have retooled with six transfers and a top-15 freshman class, per 247Sports. Still, it's Hubbard's presence that gives MSU a real shot at breaking through in a competitive SEC. Head coach Chris Jans wasn't surprised by the decision. 'We had great communication behind the scenes,' Jans said. 'I had a pretty good idea that unless something crazy happened… Josh was going to be a part of our basketball team.' Advertisement Mississippi State fans, circle the dates now. With Hubbard back, the Bulldogs aren't just competing, they're coming.

Chris Jans Excited for Returning 'Locker Room Leader' Josh Hubbard to Pair With New Additions
Chris Jans Excited for Returning 'Locker Room Leader' Josh Hubbard to Pair With New Additions originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Mississippi State basketball coach Chris Jans didn't mince words as he set the tone for the 2025-26 season as summer workouts began: 'We needed to get bigger.' Advertisement After a third straight trip to the NCAA Tournament without a win, the fourth-year head coach knew his Bulldogs had to evolve. Rebounding and three-point shooting, two of MSU's most glaring weaknesses last year are the focal points of a retooled roster featuring six transfers, four freshmen, and a highly anticipated return: Josh Hubbard. The sophomore guard, a two-time All-SEC selection, is at the heart of Jans' plan to modernize Mississippi State's offense. Hubbard led MSU in scoring and was the team's primary deep threat, yet the Bulldogs still ranked 14th in the SEC in 3-point percentage (31.4%) despite firing up nearly 27 attempts per game. Mississippi State Bulldogs guard Josh Hubbard (12) shoots the ball against the Baylor Bears during the second half in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Lenovo Donnan-Imagn Images 'We thought going into the year, just to be frank with you, that we had addressed it,' Jans said. 'We thought we had enough guys that could shoot the ball, and for whatever reason, as a group, we didn't end up shooting it as well as we anticipated.' Advertisement To help lighten Hubbard's load, Jans brought in proven shooters. Georgetown's Jayden Epps (34.4% from three) adds volume, while UAB's Ja'Borri McGhee (40.8%) brings efficiency. Arizona State transfer Amier Ali also adds depth at 32.6% from beyond the arc. But the biggest change may be in the paint. Mississippi State finished just 130th in the nation in rebounding percentage last year, a shocking stat for a Jans-coached squad. Losing Cameron Matthews and KeShawn Murphy (11.7 PPG, 7.4 RPG) made frontcourt depth an urgent priority. Enter Quincy Ballard, a 7-foot transfer from Wichita State who averaged 9.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks last season. 'Having a quarterback on defense, or a goalie would be probably more appropriate, is a big advantage,' Jans said. 'I've never felt like we've had that since we've been here.' The Bulldogs also landed two four-star centers in Tee Bartlett and local standout Jamarion Davis-Fleming, helping vault MSU's freshman class to No. 12 nationally, per 247Sports Composite. Advertisement With a deeper bench and Hubbard leading the charge, the Bulldogs have their eyes set not just on another tournament berth, but on finally breaking a 17-year drought without an NCAA Tournament win. 'It's time,' Jans said. 'We've done the work. Now we've got to go prove it.'
