Walley, Thomas no longer on MSU football team

As Mississippi State prepares to start spring football practice on March 9, it will do so without tight end Gus Walley and offensive lineman Jake Thomas.

A team spokesman confirmed that both players are no longer part of the team.

Walley’s career was cut short due to concussions. As a junior this past season, he appeared in eight games with seven starts. He hauled in 19 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown and played in his final game against Arkansas.

Walley missed five games in 2015 due to head and hand injuries.
