Mississippi State Football Recruiting: 2026 Commitments Tracker for Jeff Lebby

This story was updated to add new information.

STARKVILLE — The first Mississippi State football season for coach Jeff Lebby did not go as planned.

The Bulldogs went 2-10 and winless in the SEC. Their only wins were against Eastern Kentucky and UMass. All of MSU's SEC losses were by double digits.

How that season impacts recruiting is beginning to take shape. Lebby's first recruiting class in 2025 ranked 28th nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

The Clarion Ledger is tracking all of MSU's commitments for the 2026 recruiting class below.
