Mississippi State head coach Chris Jans and the Bulldogs picked up a big commitment via the transfer portal, as former Penn State guard Kanye Clary has committed to the program.
Clary, who was at Penn State the past two seasons, is coming off a breakout 2023-24 campaign in which he started 20-of-23 games, and averaged 16.7 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 2.8 APG, and 1 SPG for the Nittany Lions. The guard also shot an impressive 37.7% from three, as well as 46.2% from the field and 81.1% from the free throw line.
Prior to this past season, Clary appeared in 32 games off Penn State’s bench as a freshman, averaging 10.4 MPG. Over that season, Clary averaged 3.7 PPG on 43.4% shooting from the field, as well as 70% from the free throw line.
Clary is the first transfer commitment for Mississippi State this offseason, and is likely to play a significant role in 2024-25 for a Bulldogs team that could easily return to the NCAA Tournament.
