Fluff Bothwell - Silenced in bowl game loss Bothwell compiled 14 carries for 38 yards and caught 1 of 2 targets for six yards during Friday's 43-29 defeat against Wake Forest.

Impact Bothwell struggled to get things going in the Mayo Bowl defeat to the Demon Deacons, averaging just 2.7 yards per carry and totaling a measly 38 yards. The sophomore ball carrier will now close out the 2025 campaign with 142 rushes for 677 yards and six touchdowns. He'll have two years of eligibility remaining if he chooses to run it back with the Bulldogs.

Brenen Thompson - Hits century mark in bowl loss Thompson posted four receptions (on seven targets) for 106 yards during Friday's 43-29 loss to Wake Forest.

Impact Thompson led the Bulldogs' receiving corps in the loss to the Deacons, and he surpassed 100 yards for the fourth time this campaign. The senior wide receiver took a big jump after transferring into Mississippi State this offseason. In the 2025 season, Thompson caught 57 passes for 1,054 yards and six touchdowns. He's likely to now give the NFL Draft a shot after using up all of his collegiate eligibility.

Anthony Evans III - Four receptions for 80 yards Evans gathered in 4 of 5 targets for 80 yards during Friday's 43-29 loss against Wake Forest.

Impact Four receptions for 80 yards is one of Evans' best productions for a 2025 season in which the wide receiver excelled. The wideout logged 67 receptions (on 101 targets) for 831 yards (12.4 averaged per reception) and four touchdowns, all career-highs with Mississippi State.

Kamario Taylor - Avoids serious injury Taylor went down with a lower leg injury and was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Friday's 43-29 loss to Wake Forest, but he avoided a serious injury, Super Talk News...

Impact Taylor completed 13 of 22 passes for 241 yards with a touchdown, and he logged 18 rushes for 63 yards and a score before his late departure. The freshman quarterback avoiding serious injury is a good sign for his recovery, but he'll remain questionable for the Bulldogs' spring ball. Taylor is primed to be the future at the QB position for Mississippi State, so his recovery will hopefully go smoothly ahead of the 2026 campaign.
