STARKVILLE — Khamauri Rogers is coming back to the Magnolia State.
The former four-star recruit from Holmes County Central High School committed to Mississippi State on Wednesday.
Rogers will transfer in from Miami, where he spent his freshman season. He appeared in only one game for the Hurricanes, making a tackle in the Sept. 3 season opener against Bethune-Cookman.
Rogers tore his ACL in his senior year at Holmes County Central. 247 Sports ranked him the third-best recruit in Mississippi.
He will add depth to a Mississippi State secondary losing cornerback Emmanuel Forbes to the NFL draft.
MSU also landed LSU transfer corner Ray’Darious “Raydar” Jones on Monday. Jones, a Horn Lake graduate, is also returning to his home state.
The Bulldogs (8-4, 4-4 Southeastern Conference) are set to play Illinois (8-4, 5-4 Big Ten) in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Jan. 2 in Tampa, Florida.
