STARKVILLE — Mississippi State walk-on quarterback Logan Burnett is heading to the Lone Star State.
Burnett, who has completed two passes for 33 yards during his time at MSU, announced Wednesday afternoon via Twitter that he will spend his final year of eligibility at Texas Christian University and enroll in its MBA program.
“Such a blessing to be able to study under the #1 ranked MBA faculty in the world and play for such a great program! #GoFrogs,” he wrote in a statement.
A Birmingham native, Burnett spent most of the past four seasons working with the Bulldog scout team and was named to the 2018 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll. He is expected to be immediately eligible as he completed his undergraduate coursework at the end of the past semester.
With Burnett gone, MSU is left with four quarterbacks on the roster ahead of spring ball in current junior Keytaon Thompson, freshman Garrett Shrader, redshirt freshman Jalen Mayden and mid-year enrollee Will Rogers.
