BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – On Friday and Saturday this week, two Mississippi State student-athletes will join 26 of their Southeastern Conference counterparts in a joint meeting of the SEC Student-Athlete Leadership Councils and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) in Birmingham at the conference office.
The Bulldogs attending the conference are volleyball's Kanani Price and football's Kody Schexnayder.
The purpose of the SEC SAAC is to provide student-athletes with additional opportunities to engage with campus leaders and conference office staff. Additional councils with similar purposes were introduced by the Conference in 2016 for football and men's and women's basketball. Each council convenes annually, and a joint meeting is held during the summer. The SEC Football Leadership Council conducted its two-day meeting last weekend, and the basketball councils meet during the fall.
Price is a sophomore from Fairmount, Indiana, and played in 37 sets this past season with the volleyball team. The defensive specialist has 129 career digs. She was also named to the 2017 SEC Community Service Team. She is majoring in animal and dairy science focusing on science and vet sciences where she achieved a spot on the 2018 Fall SEC Honor Roll.
A native of River Ridge, Louisiana, Schexnayder has played in 18 career games and averaged 36.4 yards per punt while serving as the Bulldogs' holder. He is majoring in human development and family sciences where he also landed a spot on the 2018 Fall SEC Honor Roll.
Agenda items for the SEC SAAC meeting include a presentation on leadership by Growing Leaders, Inc., a conversation with SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, a review of NCAA and SEC legislative items with SEC Assistant Commissioner Matt Boyer, and an open discussion on various topics facilitated by Misty Brown, SEC Director of Student-Athlete Engagement. The group will also elect officers at the end of its meeting.
