Ayden Williams - Available Saturday Williams (undisclosed) is set to suit up for Saturday's matchup versus Vanderbilt, per the SEC availability report.

Ayden Williams - Status probable for Saturday Williams (undisclosed) is considered probable for Saturday's matchup versus Vanderbilt, per the SEC availability report.

Impact Williams has yet to make his season due to an undisclosed injury, but he might have a chance to do so in this Week 10 contest. He would add depth to Mississippi State's receiving corps after posting 21 catches for 252 yards last year with the Bulldogs.

Sanfrisco Magee - Rough outing in loss Magee reeled in their only target for 16 yards during Saturday's 31-3 defeat against Texas.

Impact Magee's involvement declined sharply from the previous week against Oklahoma, as the offense managed just 119 passing yards against Texas. The redshirt sophomore wideout will look for additional opportunities when the Bulldogs host Vanderbilt next Saturday.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Evans III - Unproductive in loss Evans notched three receptions (on six targets) for 19 yards during Saturday's 31-3 defeat to Texas.

Impact Evans was held below 50 receiving yards for the third consecutive game after his explosive performance against Alabama. The senior receiver will look to bounce back when they host Vanderbilt next Saturday.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Fluff Bothwell - Inefficient in loss Bothwell notched 17 carries for 49 yards and reeled in 3 of 4 targets for 13 yards during Saturday's 31-3 defeat versus Texas.

Impact Bothwell averaged just 2.9 yards-per-carry coming off an impressive performance against Oklahoma the previous week. The junior running back remained the team's primary ball-carrier and will look to rebound when the team hosts Vanderbilt next Saturday.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Parker Puckett - Unproductive in loss Puckett was 3-for-10 passing for 22 yards during Saturday's 31-3 defeat versus Texas. He also had nine rushes for four yards.

Impact Puckett struggled against the Longhorns' defense before AJ Swann took over and handled most of Mississippi State's passing work. The redshirt freshman quarterback's role will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's home matchup against Vanderbilt.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

AJ Swann - Minimal production in loss Swann was 12-for-15 passing for 97 yards during Saturday's 31-3 defeat versus Texas.

Impact Swann replaced a struggling Parker Puckett and completed 80 percent of his passes while averaging just 6.5 yards-per-attempt. The senior quarterback's display could put him in contention for additional playing time when the Bulldogs host Vanderbilt next Saturday.

Parker Puckett - Not in line to start Saturday Puckett seems to be trending toward a backup role ahead of Saturday's game versus Texas, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

Impact Puckett was battling AJ Swann for starting duties during practice throughout the week but apparently lost out in the competition. That said, Swann will likely be on a short leash, and Puckett could be a candidate to enter the contest should Swann falter.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Swann began his 2026 season as Mississippi State's third-choice quarterback, behind Kamario Taylor (out for the campaign) and Parker Puckett, the former's initial backup. Puckett was unimpressive in relief of Taylor the last few weeks of action, so there is a legitimate chance that Swann can start under center at Texas. The start would mark Swann's first appearance since his 2025 season with Appalachian State, but he does hold previous SEC experience from his one season with both Vanderbilt and LSU.
