STARKVILLE — Mississippi State football has flipped a running back for the 2025 recruiting class. Kolin Wilson, who had been tied to Cincinnati since April, has committed to MSU, he announced via his social media pages Thursday.
Wilson’s change of heart comes after visiting Starkville last weekend. He is a three-star prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, who attends Gulf Shores High School in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Wilson’s offer sheet includes Northwestern, Western Kentucky, Toledo and Troy, among others. He is the first running back to commit to Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby for the 2025 cycle. Lebby is entering his first season with the Bulldogs after he was hired in November to replaced fired coach Zach Arnett.
Wilson was included in a crucial stretch of official visits for Lebby’s staff last weekend. Entering the weekend, MSU had only four commitment secured for the upcoming class. Now, the Bulldogs have 12.
Joining three-star linebacker AJ Rice (Madison) and Christopher Johnson (Montgomery), Wilson is the third commitment for Mississippi State out of Alabama.
