12/04/22 - Jett Johnson, rSr/2024, Mississippi State, 6-2, 240 (DS#21 ILB) + More +

It has been a successful end to the season for Mississippi State football defensive coordinator Zach Arnett. It started last week when Arnett's unit held Ole Miss to a season-low 78 rushing yards en route to a 24-22 Egg Bowl win. It has extended into this week with linebacker Nathaniel Watson and defensive linemen Jaden Crumedy, Nathan Pickering and Jordan Davis announcing they're returning next season for their final years of eligibility.

Linebacker Jett Johnson joined the mix by announcing Friday his intent to return as well. He has one season left due to the extra COVID-19 season granted to athletes by the NCAA. The Tupelo native led Mississippi State in tackles (86) last season and was second behind Watson this season with 103. Johnson had seven tackles for loss, three quarterback hurries and two fumble recoveries this season. Johnson joined Mississippi State in 2018 out of Tupelo High School. He redshirted his freshman season and appeared in five games over the next two years. - The Clarion Ledger

12/04/22 - *Emmanuel Forbes, Jr/2023, Mississippi State, 6-1, 170 (DS#6 CB) + More +

Mississippi State football defensive back Emmanuel Forbes is foregoing his senior season and has declared for the 2023 NFL Draft, he announced via social media Thursday night. "Deciding to play for Mississippi State has been one of the best decisions I have ever made," Forbes wrote. "I have grown off the field just as much as I have developed on it." Forbes did not announce anything regarding his status for MSU's bowl game. Forbes' six interceptions this season are tied for the most in the nation. He returned three of those for touchdowns. Of his 14 career interceptions, six have been returned for touchdowns - an FBS record.

Forbes is a native of Grenada and attended Grenada High School, where he was a four-star prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. This marks the second straight season MSU has had a corner forego his senior season for the NFL. Last season, Martin Emerson did so and was taken in the third round of the NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. Forbes' decision comes amidst a successful week for MSU's defense. Linebacker Nathaniel Watson and defensive linemen Jaden Crumedy, Nathan Pickering and Jordan Davis announced they'll return next season for their final seasons of eligibility. - The Clarion Ledger

It took just three words for Mississippi State football fans and defensive coordinator Zach Arnett to hear what they wanted regarding the status of redshirt senior linebacker Nathaniel Watson for next season.
