Danby: Daniel Hager01/20/26DanielHagerOn3

Mississippi State redshirt sophomore offensive tackle Jayvin James has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3’s Pete Nakos reports. James started in 12 of Mississippi State‘s 13 games this season, missing just its season opener against Southern Miss.

James played his first two collegiate seasons at Akron, starting nine games. The news of James’ decision to enter the Portal comes as Mississippi State remains in the mix for Colorado standout transfer OT Jordan Seaton. Seaton is the No. 4 ranked player (No. OT WR) in On3’s Transfer Portal Industry Rating.

He is the second Miss State starting offensive lineman to announce their transfer this week, joining Zack Owens, who quickly committed to Missouri.

Prior to enrolling at Akron, Mathis Jr. was ranked as a three-star prospect in the Class of 2023. He was the No. 149 OT in his class and the No. 294 overall player from the state of Georgia, hailing from Blanche Ely.
