Mississippi State's Kamario Taylor Carted Off Late With Leg Injury as Early Outlook Appears Positive

Further testing is pending after encouraging initial evaluations.

Overview

  • Coach Jeff Lebby said initial reports were good following the freshman quarterback’s late fourth-quarter injury in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.
  • Taylor was hurt on an 11-yard scramble when he was hit low by Wake Forest’s Lardarius Webb Jr., then was carted off with 1:52 remaining.
  • He left the stadium walking with a slight limp and without a boot or cast, according to team observations.
  • Taylor’s mother posted that the injury is to his ankle and that nothing is torn or broken, with official imaging results still to come.
  • In his second career start, Taylor went 13-of-22 for 241 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 63 yards and a score in a 43-29 loss, as backup Luke Kromenhoek—who plans to enter the transfer portal—finished the game.
