BIRMINGHAM – Mississippi State's Dakota Jordan earned Second Team Preseason All-SEC honors as voted on by the league's coaches, the conference office announced on Thursday.

Jordan made 34 starts in left field, four in centerfield and three as a designated hitter. During Southeastern Conference games last season, Jordan hit .333 and belted eight of his 10 homers. Jordan was also the 13th Dawg to earn a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team.
Following Super Bulldog Weekend, where Jordan picked up the game-winning hit against rival Ole Miss, he was named the SEC Freshman of the Week. On May 22, Jordan was named to the Freshman All-SEC Team.
Following the season, Jordan earned Freshman All-American honors by Perfect Game, which marked the eighth straight season a Mississippi State freshman has earned Freshman All-American accolades.
The 2024 season begins on Feb. 16 when the Diamond Dawgs host Air Force in a three-game series at Dudy Noble Field.
