With Tucker exiting, Brodie McWhorter, a three-star quarterback from Georgia, is MSU's top commitment in the class. The Bulldogs' 2026 recruiting class is ranked No. 40 nationally, according to 247Sports.
Don't be surprised if Tucker lands at Ole Miss. Lane Kiffin and his staff are ramping up for next year and have many players on flip watch. Tucker has made multiple visits to Oxford and got comfortable with his Rebel connections.
