Tulsa Booker T. Washington guard Jacques Mitchell announced his commitment to the Mississippi State men's basketball 2026 recruiting class on Sunday.

Mississippi State has made a significant move in the 2027 recruiting class by securing the commitment of guard Jacques Mitchell from Tulsa Booker T. Washington. The 6-foot-3, three-star prospect, ranked No. 31 nationally in combo guards by 247Sports, chose the Bulldogs over offers from Arizona State, Ole Miss, TCU, and Tulsa. Mitchell's decision highlights his strong performance at Tulsa, where he was named to the 2025 Super 5 Class 5A All-State team as a sophomore and continued to excel as a junior, averaging 15.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2.5 steals per game.
