Kamario Taylor Returning to Mississippi State in 2027

Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor is finalizing an agreement to return to the program in 2027. The sophomore, who is expected to be among the top prospects for the 2028 NFL draft, will rejoin the team in time for spring practice and serve as the centerpiece of the roster.

Injury and Recovery

Taylor guided the Bulldogs to a 4-0 start before sustaining a turf toe injury. He underwent season-ending surgery and finished with 1,460 passing yards and 17 passing touchdowns in six games while completing 65.4 percent of his passes. He also added 147 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown along with one receiving touchdown.

Program Investment

The agreement includes plans for increased roster spending around Taylor. After four games he was tied for the national lead in passing touchdowns and ranked third in total yards. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound signal caller is expected to anchor the offense as the team aims for an expanded College Football Playoff appearance.
