Kamario Taylor is officially back for the 2027 season at Mississippi State, and it took a massive NIL deal, potentially worth up to $9 million, to seal the deal. The sophomore quarterback confirmed his decision on SportsCenter Thursday, making it clear there was never really any question in his mind.
No Doubt, Just Domination
Taylor didn’t mince words about his future. He said flat out, “There was never a doubt” about returning. That’s the kind of confidence you love to see! And he’s already laying out the game plan for next year, telling everyone what’s coming. “Next season we’re going to try to dominate every single game, we’re gonna try to take advantage of every opportunity we get on the field, we’re gonna go get some guys,” Taylor noted. He’s even talking about roster moves, saying, “We’ve got a good amount of guys on the roster we’re trying to re-sign, a lot of key players, get those guys back in the boat.” Sounds like he’s ready to be the leader this team needs, and that $9 million deal shows the program is all-in on him, too.
Sky-High Expectations After A Shorter 2026
Taylor’s 2026 season was cut short by a toe injury that needed surgery, but man, he was still putting up numbers in his six games. He threw for 1,460 yards, piled up 17 touchdowns, and only tossed four interceptions. Not to mention, he added 147 yards and another score on the ground. That’s solid production, even if it ended too soon. With him locked in for 2027 on that record-setting deal, you can bet expectations are absolutely sky-high for Taylor and the Bulldogs. They’re clearly banking on him to lead them to big things. Get ready, because 2027 is already looking wild!
