Mississippi State football flips WR Gracen Harris from Oklahoma in 2025 class
STARKVILLE — Mississippi State football has made an addition to its 2025 recruiting class.
Gracen Harris, a three-star wide receiver, has signed, the school announced Monday. The Ennis, Texas, native was committed to Oklahoma until Dec. 2. He had been committed to the Sooners since May 2023 when MSU coach Jeff Lebby was their offensive coordinator.
Harris picked MSU over offers from Florida State, Baylor, Purdue, Kansas, TCU, Pittsburgh, SMU, Texas Tech and West Virginia.
The news broke shortly after freshman wide receiver Mario Craver announced he’s entering the transfer portal.
Gracen Harris 247 ranking
Mitchell, who is 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, is a three-star, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He’s rated No. 462 nationally, the No. 71 wide receiver and No. 69 in Texas.
The Bulldogs have signed three other wide receivers in their class, all of whom are three-stars: Isaiah Mitchell, Anson Lewis and Davian Jackson. Ferzell Shepard, another three-star, is committed but has not signed.

JACKSON COUNTY, Ms. (WZTV) — The family of a Mississippi teenager whose body was found after he went missing Fourth of July weekend is now demanding answers.
On Friday, Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump , Rev. Al Sharpton and the family of Wells are holding a press conference to demand an investigation into the teen’s death.
Wells’ body was reportedly found Monday in the water near the end of Horn Island in Jackson County, Mississippi.
Rev. Sharpton opened the conference by stating there are too many unanswered questions to close the investigation into Wells’ death. He says Wells, who is Black, went on a boat with three white men, who returned with Wells’ phone and keys, but not Wells.
“We we’ve been told does not make sense,” Rev. Sharpton said. “There’s just too many questions where they should not be closing the investigation. This does not smell right.”
Attorney Crump leading an independent investigation into Wells’ death.
Investigators are asking anyone who was on or near Horn Island on July 4 to come forward, especially if they saw Wells, spoke with him, heard or saw any type of disturbance or have original photos or videos from the island.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department Criminal Investigations Division at 228-769-3065 during regular business hours or 228-769-3063 after hours.
