JUCO wide receiver Javonta Payton commits to Miss. State

With only a matter of days before the Egg Bowl, if playing Ole Miss in the season finale is not enough to get the Mississippi State football team excited, the Bulldogs landing wide receiver Javonta Payton has to be exciting.

Payton, the second-best JUCO wide receiver in Mississippi by 247Composite, has made his mark at Northwest Miss. Community College. As a sophomore, he has tallied 23 receptions for 331 yards and two touchdowns. During his freshman campaign, he snagged 44 catches for 509 yards and 10 touchdowns.

I want to thank all the coaches who have recruited me these last few months.
