Eighteen such players (9 true, 9 redshirt) have played multiple games through the first six contests, while 15 sophomores and seven transfers (4 JUCO) have played at least one game.

- Junior WR Osirus Mitchell leads the Bulldogs in touchdown catches this season with four (all have been for 20 yards or longer). Mitchell is also State's top receiver in yardage (335) and catches (24). He has at least one reception of 20+ yards in five different games. His 17 catches for a first down and 10 catches for 15+ yards lead MSU and are tied for 10th in the SEC.
