Michigan State’s star quarterback trio is Kamario Taylor leading the pack!
Mississippi State football is holding a competition for the second-string quarterback job, coach Jeff Lebby said after the first spring practice.
STARKVILLE — Mississippi State football knows sophomore Kamario Taylor will be the starting quarterback in 2026. But as for his backup, that's still to be decided as the Bulldogs held their first spring practice on March 17. Coach Jeff Lebby said it will be an ongoing competition between MSU's four other quarterbacks on the roster: AJ Swann, Jaden Rashada, Parker Puckett and Brodie McWhorter.
"There's great competition for the No. 2 spot, which I love," Lebby said. "The other four guys are going to get a ton of reps.
We're going to cut them evenly. There's going to be a different No. 2 every single day until one guy starts to separate a little bit.
" Swann and Rashada transferred to Mississippi State this season but with different profiles. Swann is a veteran who's started in 18 games in his career between Vanderbilt, LSU and Appalachian State. Rashada is a redshirt junior who's played in nine games in the last three seasons at Arizona State, Georgia and Sacramento State.
