Kamario Taylor ‘Bleeds Maroon and White.’ Can Mississippi State Keep Him?
Chiefs star Chris Jones has vowed to try to keep Taylor in Starkville.
Kamario Taylor, a quarterback for Mississippi State, recently played a pivotal role in the team's 31-24 victory over Missouri. Known for his three touchdown performances, Taylor expressed his deep connection to the university and its fan base, stating, "It’s a surreal feeling. In my opinion, this is the best fan base in America."
When asked about speculation regarding his potential transfer, Taylor responded, "It’s kind of hard because I don’t like to look at things like that during the season." Born and raised in Macon, Mississippi, Taylor has strong ties to Mississippi State, even having his eye black, "283 Baby," represent his hometown. His mother and uncle also played for the Bulldogs, adding to his emotional investment in the program.
However, Taylor's performance has sparked questions about his commitment to the program, with former coach Nick Saban suggesting that Mississippi State should pursue him through the transfer portal. Despite these doubts, Taylor remains focused on the present, with Mississippi State currently having a 4-0 record and ranked 16th in the AP Top 25.
The team's next challenge is a home game against Alabama, and Coach Jeff Lebby emphasizes the team's focus on maximizing their current season and confidence for the future.
