📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Fresh Face. It didn’t take long for Abdullahi Hassan to make an impression after arriving in Starkville from Wisconsin.

On Monday, Hassan added another line to his resume as a Bulldog, as he was named the SEC Men's Newcomer Runner of the Year.

Hassan has been a staple in the middle distance group this season for State, leading the squad in both the 800m and 1500m. He has stayed in the top six nationally for the entirety of the outdoor season, posting a personal best time of 1:45.39 earlier this season.

At the SEC Outdoor Championships, Hassan ran 1:45.64 to finish as the runner-up in the 800m. He matched his performance from the indoor championships, taking silver in the event back in February.

Hassan will return to the NCAA Outdoor Championships this week in the 800m. He returns to the meet as the reigning NCAA Indoor Championships Runner-up in the same distance.

🔼 Big-Play Bulldog. We have 81 days until Mississippi State football’s season opener at Southern Miss on August 30!

Danny Knight finished his Bulldog career with 81 career receptions over four seasons from 1980-83. Knight led the SEC with 924 yards in 1982 and averaged 25 yards per reception that season. Knight was inducted into the M Club Hall of Fame in 2024.
