Mississippi State football has landed a defensive back commitment for the 2026 recruiting class.
Kolby Barrett, a three-star from Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, committed to the Bulldogs on May 24. He announced the news on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"COMMITTED," Barrett wrote." THANK YOU GOD."
Barrett chose MSU and second-year coach Jeff Lebby over offers from Memphis, Purdue, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Tulane, Wake Forest, Air Force and more.
It comes two days after Tupelo three-star cornerback Iverson McCoy decommitted from Mississippi State.
Barrett, who's measured at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, is ranked No. 1,099 nationally by the 247Sports Composite. He's the No. 99 safety and the No. 34 player in Tennessee.
Barrett transferred from Alcoa to Baylor School last season.
Mississippi State now has eight commitments for its 2026 recruiting class.
The Bulldogs' 2026 recruiting class is ranked No. 37 nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite. It's the 10th in the SEC.
