According to multiple reports, Mississippi State guard Andrew Taylor has entered the transfer portal after only one season in Starkville in which he appeared in a limited number of games.
Taylor, who transferred to Mississippi State after four seasons at Marshall this past offseason, appeared in seven games with the Bulldogs earlier this season, each of which he came off the bench. Across those seven games, Taylor averaged 3.9 PPG, 1.4 RPG, and 1.3 APG, as well as 40% from the field and 40% from three.
Prior to Mississippi State, Taylor averaged a combined 14.6 PPG, 5 RPG, 4.1 APG, and 1.8 SPG across four seasons at Marshall, along with a 35.5 3P% and a 75.7% mark from the free throw line. Likely the best single-season for Taylor at Marshall was his 2022-23 campaign in which he averaged 20.2 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 4.7 APG, and 2.1 SPG on 36.4% shooting from three prior to transferring to Mississippi State.
The former Mississippi State and Marshall guard now enters the portal as a graduate transfer.
