Mississippi State football lost a commitment from its top prospect in the 2026 recruiting class.
Emanuel Tucker, an offensive tackle from New Albany, decommitted from the Bulldogs on June 2. He was the only four-star committed to MSU, according to the 247 Sports Composite Rankings.
He announced the decommitment in an X post one day after taking an official visit to Ole Miss. Tucker holds an offer from the Rebels and many other SEC schools. He was committed to MSU and second-year coach Jeff Lebby since February.
“I would like to announce that I’m no longer committed to Mississippi State University,” Tucker wrote in his post.
Tucker is a four-star recruit, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He’s measured at 6-foot-5, 290 pounds and is listed as the No. 10 player in Mississippi, the No. 17 offensive tackle and No. 232 nationally.
Mississippi State is down to nine commitments for its 2026 recruiting class. Brodie McWhorter, a three-star quarterback from Georgia, is now the top commitment in the class.
The Bulldogs’ 2026 recruiting class is ranked No. 40 nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite. It’s 11th in the SEC.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Evan Siary struck out nine in six innings, Mississippi State recorded the final out on a failed steal attempt, and the Bulldogs advanced to the final round of the Tallahassee Regional with a 3-2 win over Northeastern on Sunday.
With two outs and the tying run at first, pinch runner Carter Bentley was tagged out by second baseman Gatlin Sanders on a throw from catcher Joe Powell and a review confirmed the call on the field.
Mississippi State (36-22) will play No. 9 national seed Florida State on Sunday night and would have to win that game and beat the Seminoles again Monday to reach super regionals.
Northeastern (49-11) had its season come to an end after another loss to the Bulldogs, who snapped the Huskies’ 27-game win streak in the opening game.
Siary (3-1) retired the first 13 batters, with five strikeouts. Stone Simmons earned his third save of the season after 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. Simmons struck out Cam Maldonado looking with the bases loaded in the seventh to get out of a jam.
Hunter Hines opened the scoring for Mississippi State with a shot off the left-field wall to score one on a double and he added a sacrifice fly in the fifth for a 3-1 lead. Gehrig Frei went 3 for 4.
Northeastern coach Mike Glavine was ejected in the bottom of the eighth when Mississippi State had runners on the corners with no outs.
