Mississippi State basketball lands Southern Miss transfer forward Tyler Stevenson

Mississippi State basketball landed a commitment on Friday from Southern Miss transfer Tyler Stevenson.

Stevenson played four seasons for the Golden Eagles, and was their leading scorer in each of the last two campaigns.

A 6-foot-8 forward, Stevenson tallied 14.6 points per game during the 2021-22 campaign, adding 7.5 rebounds per contest as well.

He shot 49.4 percent from the field, and averaged just over a block per contest for a Golden Eagles squad that finished 7-26 on the season.

Stevenson had originally verbally committed to play his fifth and final season of eligibility at UIC, but backed down on that pledge on Friday afternoon.
