STARKVILLE — Mississippi State has its first tight end and a new volleyball player to boot.
Georgia tight end Ryland Goede committed to transfer to MSU on Monday, and he’ll bring his fiancée — volleyball player Alexa Fortin — to Starkville as well.

Goede did not record any statistics during the 2022 season on a national champion Georgia team featuring a pair of standout tight ends in Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington.
The fourth-year junior played in 13 games in 2019 and 2021, missing the 2020 season while recovering from shoulder surgery. The Kennesaw, Georgia, product is a former four-star recruit.
Fortin, a redshirt junior from Johns Creek, Georgia, was one of two UGA volleyball players to play all 120 sets in the Bulldogs’ 31 matches. The Georgia setter graduated in December after four years with the program.
