STARKVILLE — For the second time in his college career, tight end Geor'Quarius Spivey will be playing for Mississippi State football. Spivey announced Thursday via social media he is transferring back to MSU after spending the last two seasons at TCU.

Spivey started his career in Starkville where he appeared in three games before redshirting in 2018. He made five starts in 24 games across the next two seasons, collecting 14 catches for 153 yards. However, with former coach Mike Leach's Air Raid offense not utilizing a tight end, he transferred out.

He was a 3-star recruit from Ridgewood High School in Monroe, Louisiana, winning a state championship his senior year.

Spivey collected three starts in 10 games in 2021, recording just three catches for nine yards. During last season's run to the national title game, Spivey caught 11 catches for 136 yards and a touchdown for the Horned Frogs.

Spivey entered the portal in mid-February. With new MSU offensive coordinator Kevin Barbay hired using a tight end, Spivey became an obvious target.

Spivey joins a tight end room suddenly filling up with national championship experience. Georgia transfer Ryland Goede signed with MSU in February after helping Georgia win back-to-back titles.
