Jay Lindsey, Matthew Mayfield commit to Mississippi State football, coach Zach Arnett

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State football has added a pair of commits to its 2024 recruiting class in a span of 24 hours. Jay Lindsey, a 247Sports three-star tight end, announced his commitment on Sunday night. Matthew Mayfield, an unrated receiver, followed it up with his commitment Monday.

The commitments come after MSU hosted its spring game on Saturday during Super Bulldog Weekend.

Lindsey is a native of Butler, Alabama, and attends Patrician Academy. He is the fourth commitment of the upcoming class for coach Zach Arnett and the first tight end. MSU hasn't had a high school enrollee at the position since the 2018 recruiting class.

The need at the position comes with Mississippi State transitioning from Mike Leach's Air Raid offense to offensive coordinator Kevin Barbay's scheme.

Mayfield is a native of Arnaudville, Louisiana, who attends Beau Chene High School. He is the fifth commitment in the upcoming class and the first wide receiver.

Mayfield and Lindsey join four-star quarterback Josh Flowers, three-star athlete Caleb Dozier and three-star offensive tackle TJ Lockhart in the 2024 recruiting class.
