It’s Egg Bowl week and the Mississippi State football team has scored first. JaVonta Payton, a highly sought after wide receiver from Northwest Mississippi Community College, has officially declared that he’s interested in coming to Starkville and playing for the Bulldogs.
What makes this commitment even better for Joe Moorhead and company is that on October 22nd, JaVonta Payton decommitted from Ole Miss and was expected by many to commit to Tennessee. Now, it looks like he’s going to play in Maroon and White.
Payton is a talented wide receiver who could theoretically step in next season and make a difference for the Mississippi State football team.
