Colonels return tight end and four starters along the offensive line for the 2024 season
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State is set to kickoff the Jeff Lebby era in Starkville this Saturday against Eastern Kentucky and he’ll be doing so with a quarterback also new to the Magnolia state.
Eastern Kentucky will be breaking in its own new quarterback when the two teams meet. Parker McKinney, who threw for 12,751 yards in six seasons at EKU, exhausted his eligibility and the battle to replace him is down to two players. Whoever lines up at quarterback for EKU will do so with an experience offensive line in front of them and some experienced playmakers around, too.
EKU is also bringing back one of its two rushers who had more than 700 yards in 2023. Joshua Carter finished just 50 yards short of the Colonels’ rushing title with 714 yards with an average of six yards per carry and 64.9 per game. He also had four touchdowns.
