STARKVILLE — For the second time in three days, a Mississippi State football player is seeking a transfer.
A source with immediate knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Dispatch that freshman offensive lineman Brevyn Jones has entered his name into the transfer portal.
Jones announced the news officially via Twitter Monday afternoon.
A consensus three-star recruit out of Center Point, Alabama, Jones redshirted this past season. He was rated the No. 33 player in Alabama and the 56th-best offensive tackle in the 2019 class by ESPN.
Redshirt freshman Fabien Lovett also entered the transfer portal late last week in the wake of a controversial tweet from head coach Mike Leach that included an image of a woman with a noose.
Lovett responded to the since-deleted tweet with the caption, “Wtf.”
