Mississippi State QB Kamario Taylor commits to return to the Bulldogs in 2027
Taylor said he expects to return after season-ending surgery, and Mississippi State reportedly agreed to pay him about $7 million plus incentives.
On Wednesday, Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor announced his return to the Bulldogs for 2027, specifically referencing coach Jeff Lebby in his commitment statement.
Head coach Jeff Lebby prioritized Taylor after being hired in November 2023, fostering a relationship that led the quarterback to believe in the program's direction.
Before suffering a season-ending foot injury, Taylor completed 65% of his passes for 1,460 yards and 17 touchdowns this season, undergoing surgery on October 28.
Mississippi State reportedly agreed to pay Taylor about $7 million plus incentives, while coach Jeff Lebby carries a potential $7.65 million buyout if fired after the season.
The Bulldogs, currently 4-5, face Auburn on Saturday, November 14, seeking to break a five-game losing streak as Lebby maintains an 11-23 overall record at Mississippi State.
