Mississippi State loses starting safety Kendrick Market for the season

The strength of the Bulldogs' defense takes a hit with the loss of Market.

Kendrick Market's collegiate playing career has apparently come to an end, as the senior safety tore his ACL against Texas A&M Saturday night, according to head coach Dan Mullen.

“Unfortunately that’s probably his last play of his career,” Mullen said Monday. “It’s a shame. You never know what it’s going to end. He's a young man that’s done so much.”

With the loss of a key contributor in the back end of their defense, defensive coordinator Manny Diaz and his secondary will need new players to step up into larger roles moving forward.
