Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers is expected to put his name in the NCAA transfer portal, 247Sports reported Friday.

Rogers threw for 207 yards and ran for a touchdown in Thursday night's 17-7 loss to Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl.

Rogers would be a graduate transfer, and he immediately would attract interest. He is the second-leading passer in Southeastern Conference history with 12,315 yards and second with 94 career passing touchdowns.

He started the past four seasons for the Bulldogs.

Rogers threw for 1,626 yards with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions in eight games in 2023. He missed four due to an upper-body injury.

With the loss on Thursday, Mississippi State (5-7) is not bowl eligible.
