Alabama vs. Mississippi State predictions, picks
Prediction: Alabama sweeps Mississippi State
Even despite the Crimson Tide having not won a series against Mississippi State since 2015, the pick here goes for Alabama to sweep the Bulldogs in Tuscaloosa. When comparing the two teams this season, it feels like Alabama is the better team altogether, and I'll say the Crimson Tide avenge their disappointing road series loss at Auburn from last weekend with an impressive showing here.

Auburn star earns PGA Tour Card after sensational sophomore season
Although Auburn couldn't quite get over the hump to repeat as the National Champions this golf season, the Tigers best golfer, sophomore Jackson Koivun, ended his extraordinary season with a coveted piece of hardware. The two-time SEC Golfer of the Year finished in fourth place overall during the stroke play portion of the NCAA Championships, giving him more than enough points to surpass the 20 total needed to acquire a PGA Tour Card through the PGA Tour University Accelerated program. Advertisement The program, which is designed to award juniors who accumulate 20 points through played events during their first three years of college golf, was finished by Koivun in just two seasons. Now with immediate eligibility to play PGA Tour events, the 20-year-old could choose to end his Tigers career after just two short years if he opts to become a professional. But Koivun, who has vocally pronounced his love for the Plains in the past, recently told Golfweek he would delay defer his card until 2026, again stating "he loves Auburn" before stating how he believes college golf "is in such a good spot right now and it's going to continually prepare [him] for the PGA Tour." Koivun is now the third collegiate golfer to earn his PGA Card through the accelerated program. Alabama native and former Vanderbilt star Gordon Sargent and former Florida State golfer Luke Clanton are the only other golfers to successfully finish the program.

Alabama star Justin Lebron reportedly makes decision amid transfer portal buzz
Alabama star Justin Lebron reportedly makes decision amid transfer portal buzz Alabama baseball star Justin Lebron is reportedly staying put after helping the Crimson Tide to their best regular season finish in over 20 years. According to a report from Jake Mckeever of College Baseball Report, Lebron will return to Tuscaloosa for his junior season in 2026 "despite rumors of (transfer) portal entrance and tampering." The 20-year-old shortstop, who came to Alabama from Archbishop Edward McCarthy High School in Southwest Ranches, Fla., is one of three players who won't be leaving their respective SEC schools for another program via the transfer portal, Mckeever reported. Kentucky Wildcats shortstop Tyler Bell and Mississippi State third baseman Ace Reese are the two others. Lebron has been a foundational piece for Rob Vaughn in his first two seasons as the Crimson Tide's head coach. He batted .319 with a team-high 18 home runs and 72 RBIs to go with 18 doubles and 17 stolen bases this past season. Lebron started all 58 games as Alabama went 41-18 overall, recording its first 40-win regular season since 2002. Lebron, a potential No. 1 overall pick in next year's MLB draft, led the SEC in RBIs and was tied for third in the conference in doubles with MSU's Reese and Texas Longhorns shortstop Jalin Flores. Lebron placed 10th in the SEC in both home runs and stolen bases and was a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award in 2025. Neither Lebron nor Yea Alabama, the school's official NIL entity, have made an official announcement but could do so in the coming days. The entity has made several announcements regarding Alabama athletes and scheduling news, including the recent decision by Crimson Tide basketball guard Labaron Philon to forgo the NBA draft. Vaughn will be returning to Alabama in 2026 after signing a contract extension following reports linking him to the Texas A&M job. The Aggies fired Michael Earley after only one season.

Mississippi State Lands Big-Leg Kicker Gunnar Gillentine
Mississippi State Lands Big-Leg Kicker Gunnar Gillentine originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's not every day that a kicker makes headlines, but Mississippi State fans should take notice because this one could be a difference-maker. Advertisement The Bulldogs have landed a commitment from Gunnar Gillentine, a rising senior specialist from Petal (Miss.) High School, who announced his decision after a string of standout performances on the national camp circuit. Known for his booming leg and impressive consistency, Gillentine adds a crucial piece to Mississippi State's 2027 recruiting class. The 6-foot, 185-pound kicker has turned heads with his precision and power, most notably at the Texas Spring Showcase, where he earned a score of 118, a mark that placed him among the top performers in attendance. According to sources close to the program, Jeff Lebby and special teams coordinator Cliff Odom wasted no time once they saw the potential Gillentine brings. Unlike some spring targets who were asked to wait, Mississippi State moved quickly to secure Gillentine. With field position and kicking becoming increasingly vital in SEC play, his addition could pay dividends on Saturdays. 'I'm going to be working in the weight room a lot this offseason,' said Gillentine. 'I want my leg to be as strong as it can possibly be… I know that when the ball is turning over, it can come with a lot more distance.' Advertisement Mississippi State ranked No. 92 nationally in field goal percentage last season and struggled with punt placement throughout SEC play. Gillentine's arrival signals a shift in focus to improving those often-overlooked details. Special teams may not be the flashiest side of the ball, but it's the kind that wins tight games. And as Bulldog fans know all too well, in the SEC, every inch matters.
