Mississippi State is gearing up for their season-opening game against Eastern Kentucky under first-year head coach Jeff Lebby. Lebby, known for producing high-scoring offenses, has revamped the team’s roster through the transfer portal. After releasing their Week 1 depth chart, Mississippi State’s two-deep depth chart features several new faces on both offense and defense. The offense will be led by quarterback Blake Shapen, running back Keyvone Lee, and wide receivers Kevin Coleman, Jordan Mosley, and Trent Hudson. The defense features players like defensive end De’Monte Russell, defensive tackle Kedrick Bingley-Jones, and cornerback Brice Pollock. In terms of special teams, Nick Barr-Mira will handle punting and place-kicking duties, while Hayes Hammond will be the long snapper. Kevin Coleman and Davon Booth are set to return punts and kicks for Mississippi State. Lebby hopes to turn around a team that averaged under 20 points per game last season by fielding a high-powered offense this fall. The Bulldogs are looking forward to a fresh start and a new era of Bulldog football under Lebby’s leadership as they prepare to take on Eastern Kentucky in their season opener at Davis Wade Stadium on Saturday.
