Mississippi State Head Coach Jeff Lebby announced during a press conference that running back Jeffery Pittman is no longer with the team. This revelation came as a surprise to many, as Pittman was expected to be a key player for the Bulldogs this season. In his first year with Mississippi State, Pittman rushed for 268 yards and a touchdown in 11 games. His departure leaves a gap in the team’s roster that will need to be filled.
Along with the news about Pittman, Lebby also mentioned that players Kelly Akhairayi and Corey Ellington will be unavailable this week due to injuries. Despite these setbacks, Mississippi State is gearing up for their season opener with excitement. Fans can also look forward to seeing the team in new all-white alternate uniforms, which were recently unveiled. These uniforms will be worn during a special “Whiteout game” against the Florida Gators.
The Bulldogs are hoping to start their season on a high note and build momentum under Lebby’s leadership. While the loss of Pittman is a setback, the team is focused on moving forward and preparing for a successful season. Fans are eager to see how the team performs in their new uniforms and are looking forward to an exciting season of college football.
