Mississippi State is set for the second big weekend of official visits for the 2026 cycle. While there may be some tweaking of the guest list before Friday gets here, the Bulldogs are preparing for close to twenty official visitors and their families. There is a lot to do, but it is not a new process. Considering the horde of visitors who have darkened the door of the Seal Football complex since Coach Jeff Lebby arrived, the current staff should have it all down pat.

As a result, they make a reservation rather than a true commitment.

It appears that Mississippi State will bring in a dozen or so visitors for the first big visit weekend of the 2026 recruiting cycle. So far, all of the scheduled visitors are from the high school ranks. After going portal heavy in the first two classes under Coach Jeff Lebby, the hope is that the recruiting efforts in the years ahead will have a little more balance. Yes, the portal is here to stay and portal prospects have to be pursued every year, but the prep pipeline cannot be ignored.

Mississippi State will soon be hosting some official visitors from the high school ranks. Business is about to pick up. VIPIt appears Mississippi State is done with spring portal recruiting unless something pops up late. The Bulldogs chased a few cornerback prospects during recent weeks, but could not land one that fit their needs. A difference maker was not found, so rather than reach, it looks like State will run with what they have and what they added back closer to the turn of the year.
