Will injured his shoulder in Miss State’s 41-28 victory against Western Michigan on October 7^th. Despite being injured, Will traveled with his teammates and will cheer for them from the sideline, but he is not healthy enough to be on the field.

Despite this being the 1^st start for Mike at Mississippi, he had 11 starts at Vanderbilt before changing schools during the summer. However, he was on the field for some time in all 6 matches of his team this campaign. Wright tried just 11 passes but is the school’s 2^nd-leading rusher with 138 yards and 3 TDs.

Rogers played from the 1^st minute on the field in 38 straight matches dating to the 24-17 victory against Vanderbilt on November 7^th, 2020.
