Mississippi State’s New DL Faces Eligibility Hurdle | Mississippi State Bulldogs Football News

Mississippi State just added a seasoned defensive lineman, Eddie Kelly, who committed Tuesday night after playing in 12 games last season with 4 starts — including 26 tackles and half a sack. Though he’s seen college football across multiple schools (South Florida, Georgia Tech, Missouri), he’s not eligible to play this season due to an ongoing NCAA legal battle over the proposed five-for-five rule. The Bulldogs open their season Sept. 5 against Louisiana-Monroe at Davis Wade Stadium — and fans will be watching closely to see if Kelly can suit up in 2026.
