Three Mississippi State Players Receive Midseason All-America Recognition

Mississippi State’s October has been rough, but three Bulldogs have played well enough to catch the eye of national voters anyway.

Cornerback Kelley Jones made On3’s midseason All-America first team, while cornerback Jett Jefferson and wide receiver Anthony Evans III both landed on the Associated Press midseason second team.

Jefferson’s breakout moment came against Missouri, when he led Mississippi State with five passes defended.

In the last six games, he caught 47 passes for 614 yards and five touchdowns, and he has kept producing even as injuries forced Mississippi State to shuffle quarterbacks.

“I had to give it all I’ve got for the guys in front of me, for the team,” Evans said.
