Mississippi State Bulldogs

Mississippi State and Texas A&M released their initial Student-Athlete Availability Report on Wednesday.

There weren’t any surprises on Mississippi State’s side of the report. One name that is intriguing is safety Brylan Lanier. Lanier was the defender on a play against Georgia that saw Lanier appear to allow a Georgia receiver to score.

Lanier didn’t play anymore after that play and it’s unclear if that was a by-product of his play on the touchdown reception or if it was because of a possible concussion.

We’ll continue to monitor the status of Lanier ahead of the Bulldogs’ game against Texas A&M.

Here is the complete Student-Athlete Availability Report for Saturday’s game at 3:15 p.m. at SEC Network.

Did You Notice?

Former Mississippi State softball pitcher Aspen Wesley was named to the All WPF All-Star Team on Wednesday. Wesley was one of five pitchers to earn the honor, and the only one not on the league-champion Texas Smoke's staff. In her final season at State, Wesley earned a Second Team All-SEC selection after leading the team in appearances, ERA, opposing batting average and wins. She also led the Bulldogs with career highs in strikeouts and innings pitched.

“Tracked a raccoon one time in the snow. I was in the neighborhood and I was just curious where this raccoon lived. There's some fresh raccoon tracks. He'd been digging at somebody's garbage.”
