Jeffery Simmons Just Landed In A Massive Mississippi State NFL Spotlight
Jeffery Simmons is suddenly at the center of one of the biggest NFL moves involving a former Mississippi State star, with Tennessee sending the standout defensive tackle and a 2028 fifth-round pick to Chicago for a package built around 2027 and 2028 first-rounders plus a 2027 fourth-round pick. Simmons had been one of the Titans most reliable defensive pieces and had recently signed a three-year extension, which made the deal all the more striking for a player who had remained a cornerstone in Tennessee.
For Bulldogs fans, the most interesting wrinkle is the reunion waiting in Chicago, where Simmons will line up again with former Mississippi State teammate Montez Sweat.

The trouble does not stop there, either. Left guard DJ Chester has been ruled out, forcing Mississippi State to adjust up front against a Texas team that is also managing its own health issues, including the absence of edge rusher Colin Simmons. For the Bulldogs, the bigger question is how much more shuffling they can absorb before it starts to show on both sides of the ball. [Read more 🡒]
Mississippi State Just Turned Its Final Five Games Into A QB Audition
Mississippi States quarterback picture has shifted again, and the timing makes the final stretch of the season feel a lot bigger than just wins and losses. With Kamario Taylor out after season-ending surgery, the Bulldogs have had to rework the depth chart on the fly, and the remaining games now carry extra weight for a room that is suddenly short on certainty.
Jaden Rashada and Marquis Johnson are among the names whose roles could be shaped by what happens next, while freshman Brodie McWhorter adds another layer to the evaluation. He has yet to play, but the staff still has room to get a look at him without burning a year of eligibility, which gives Mississippi State a chance to learn something useful before the transfer portal starts to reshape the roster again.
