STARKVILLE — Mississippi State freshman wide receiver Zavion Thomas will be sticking around after all.
Thomas, who entered the transfer portal Dec. 8, confirmed Friday afternoon he will be returning to Starkville.
We got some unfinished business @HailStateFB let’s run it back!😎

Thomas caught just two passes for four yards as a true freshman, but he was dangerous in the return game.
He had a punt return touchdown against Georgia on Nov. 12, but he averaged 13.47 yards on 15 punt returns.
The return of the four-star wideout from Louisiana bolsters the Bulldogs’ special teams unit and receiving corps.
Mississippi State finished the season at 9-4 after a 19-10 win over Illinois in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
