Mississippi State Bulldogs

Anyone who watched Mississippi State football last year clearly saw the need for a better offensive line. Luckily, the transfer portal offers a chance to completely revamp not just a position group, but an entire roster.

The Bulldogs didn't need a roster overhaul, but the offensive line did and that work is still continuing even after signing six offensive linemen.

A seventh addition has been added when North Carolina offensive tackle Miles McVay, who has already signed with Mississippi State according to Maroon and White Daily's Paul Jones.

A native of East St. Louis, Ill., the 6-foot-6, 340 lbs. tackle will arrive in Starkville with three seasons of experience at Alabama and spent this past season at North Carolina.

With the Tar Heels, McVay played in only eight games because of injuries. At Alabama, he redshirted his freshman season in 2022 and played in four games during the 2023 season. In 2024, McVay appeared in 12 games as a backup offensive tackle.
