Tyler Woodard has long been set on playing for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. He’s ready to give it another shot.
Woodard was a Class of 2022 prospect out of Freedom Prep Academy in Tennessee. The Memphis native committed to Mississippi State on April 13, 2021, but ultimately landed at East Mississippi Community College. After a season of JUCO football, Woodard is once again a Bulldog pledge.
On Monday, Woodard announced his verbal commitment as a Class of 2024 transfer prospect. The 6-2, 200-pound defensive back shared the big news on his Twitter account.

Last season, Woodard recorded 20 tackles, 1 interception and 1 fumble recovery in 10 games. MSU now has 16 pledges for 2024.
