Authorities searching for escaped Meridian inmate
SUMMARY: Police in Mississippi are on the hunt for Ryan Young, a 28-year-old inmate who escaped the Mississippi Department of Corrections early Wednesday. Previously serving 40 years for various crimes including burglary and possession of a firearm by a felon, Young successfully fled for the second time; his first escape took place in September 2017. Described as 5’9” and 190 pounds, he was last seen in a yellow jumpsuit while being taken to court. Authorities utilized a drone in their search around 7th Street and 35th Avenue in Meridian. Another inmate who had escaped with Young was recaptured shortly after.

SUMMARY: The 2025 NFL Draft concluded, but many Mississippi players are still getting opportunities through undrafted free agent (UDFA) deals and minicamp invites. Ole Miss saw several players sign UDFA deals, including tight end Caden Prieskorn with the Detroit Lions and defensive end Jared Ivey with the Seattle Seahawks. Mississippi State, despite no draft picks, had wide receiver Kelly Akharaiyi and linebacker Stone Blanton sign UDFA deals. Southern Miss and Jackson State also saw players land UDFA deals or minicamp invites, such as defensive lineman Demeco Roland (Seattle Seahawks) and running back Irv Mulligan (New York Giants).

Mississippi State parts ways with head baseball coach Chris Lemonis amid underwhelming campaign
SUMMARY: Mississippi State has fired head baseball coach Chris Lemonis after a disappointing 2025 season. The Bulldogs, currently 25-19 with a 7-14 conference record, are set to miss the postseason for the second time in three years. Lemonis, hired in 2018, led the team to a national championship in 2021 but struggled afterward with a 42-69 conference record. Athletic director Zac Selmon emphasized the need for leadership change to meet expectations. Pitching coach Justin Parker will serve as interim head coach while a national search for a permanent replacement begins. The season continues against Kentucky this weekend.
