Coach Lebby and the Dawgs are ready for gameday!

August 27, 2025

What else do we have brewing today?

🏈 New season, new look
⛳️ Watch out for Avery Weed
🐶 And much, much more!

🏈 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF

🔼 Tackle Dawg. We only have 3 days until Mississippi State football’s season opener at Southern Miss on Saturday!

Brylan Lanier, who wears No. 3 for the Bulldogs, started 10 games last season for Mississippi State, totaling 53 tackles, two for loss, and one interception.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 New Look! Mississippi State football head coach Jeff Lebby has been coaching football in some form or fashion for more than two decades. That's more than 20 years' worth of season openers for the Mississippi State football leader.

But like pretty much every head coach that'll lead a team into action for a first game this weekend, experience won't allow Lebby to be satisfied. Those opening-contest jitters are real for everyone.

🔼 Fantastic Freshman. Mississippi State wide receiver Ricky Johnson has been named to the 2025 Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award watch list!

🔼 Watch Out. Mississippi State women’s golf’s Avery Weed has been named to the 2025-26 ANNIKA Award Preseason Watch List!
