Seydou Traore told 247Sports that he’s enrolled at Mississippi State. According to the 247Sports rankings, the Mississippi State football team is getting the top player who is in the transfer portal. Traore had initially transferred from Arkansas State to Colorado, but the tight end re-entered the transfer portal following spring practice.

There’s no guarantee that Traore will play for the Mississippi State football team in the 2023 season. Because he’s transferring for a second time, Traore must apply for an exemption from the NCAA in order to suit up for the Bulldogs this year. “I do plan on applying for a waiver for immediate eligibility,” Traore said. “I want to be able to perform for the upcoming season.”
