by Matt Dunaway, Director/Communications

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Mississippi State's Jimmy Bell Jr. was chosen for the SEC Community Service Team announced Wednesday by the conference office.

Bell Jr. has participated in nearly 10 community service events since he arrived on-campus last summer. He and his teammates welcomed members of State's Access Program, students with disabilities, and conducted a practice session with the program's members before the season began.

Bell Jr. also has spent time engaging with elementary and middle school students along with their teachers from multiple schools in the Starkville community.

Both State's men's and women's basketball programs held their Maroon Madness preseason tipoff event at the Columbus Air Force Base for the servicemen, servicewomen and their families.

Bell Jr.'s community service projects also encompass spending time with residents at an assisted living facility, distributing food from a local bank to the Starkville community and aiding in State's initiative to clean up campus before the school's football season opener.

Bell Jr. has secured a 3.6 GPA during the fall semester as part of State's Workforce Education Leadership graduate school program. He is on-track to graduate in Summer 2024 with his Master's degree.

Bell Jr. has already earned his bachelor's degree in integrated studies from West Virginia in May 2023. He also was a member of the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll while at Saint Louis.

The 2023-24 campaign marks the 26th year for the SEC Community Service Team for men's and women's basketball. All 21 league-sponsored sports have had a SEC Community Service Team dating back to 2004.
