It is a huge bonus to have someone who is thoroughly rooted in Mississippi State. When it comes to working with our players and getting recruits, it is such an advantage for them to see.”

“The fact that he is familiar with the program and loves Mississippi State will come across and be contagious,” Hooshyar said. “It is a huge bonus for the program and myself to have someone like that on staff. Noah has lived it and he is a perfect example of how great this place is. He is going to show that to everybody.”
Tippen began his coaching career at Mississippi State in 2020 as a volunteer assistant for men’s tennis, He previously worked as a team manager and assisted the equipment staff in 2018-19, seasons in which the Bulldogs won SEC Championships and earned top-10 national rankings.

I can’t wait to get the message out to recruits about how special MSU and the Starkville community is.”
