*Emmanuel Forbes, Mississippi State, Player News

Emmanuel Forbes' status for next season has been known. He declared for the 2023 NFL Draft on Dec. 1, meaning Mississippi State football will be without its All-America defensive back moving forward. However, his status for the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday (11 a.m., ESPN2) against Illinois (8-4) was left uncertain. That was answered Thursday as MSU announced Forbes will take the field for MSU (8-4) one last time as the team looks to honor the death of coach Mike Leach with a bowl win.Forbes joins ke y players such as defensive lineman Cameron Young and center LaQuinston Sharp in participating in the bowl despite declaring for the NFL. That comes as Illinois has had key players such as running back Chase Brown and defensive backs Devon Witherspoon an d Sydney Brown opt out. Forbes intercepted six passes this season to bring his career total in three seasons to 14. Of those interceptions, six have been returned for a touchdown − an FBS record. - The Clarion Ledger

The first came early in the second quarter when Devon Achane fumbled on the 6. MSU responded with a 94-yard, 11-play drive ending with Will Rogers' 5-yard touchdown pass to Rufus Harvey.Leading 14-0 just before halftime, the Bulldogs defense came through again as Nathan iel Watson forced Aggies quarterback Max Johnson to fumble inside the red zone.

TRACKING TOP DRAFT PROSPECTS - WEEK 2: 15. Emmanuel Forbes, Jr, CB, Mississippi State, 6-0, 180, 1,...Forbes looked excellent, getting a tackle, an assist and a third-quarter interception in a 39-17 win at Arizona. Previous week, No. 16: Sometimes when a cornerback has no stats it is because the opponent feared him. That seemed to be the case, and justifiably so, in Mississippi State's 49-23 win over Memphis. He had one Kodak Moment knocking away a pass intended for Memphis wide receiver Javon Ivory in the end zone. Great play. Forbes is the FBS active career leader in interceptions returned for touchdowns with three. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout
