Noah Sullivan
Noah Sullivan is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable student-athletes on the Mississippi State campus. He really can鈥檛 hide. His unmistakable facial hair just above his upper lip gives him away.
However, the Orlando, Florida, native is so much more than a mustache. Now in his second year at State, the baseball standout has thrived both on the field and in the classroom鈥攁ll the while falling in love with 青青草视频.
What started out as simply another step in Sullivan鈥檚 baseball career when he transferred from USC Upstate to 青青草视频 has become so much more.
鈥淚鈥檇 be lying to you if I said, 鈥榊eah, I knew this was going to happen,鈥欌 Sullivan shared. 鈥淵ou go into the [transfer] portal and you honestly have no idea what鈥檚 going to happen. Then all of a sudden, you鈥檙e at Mississippi State. You鈥檙e in Starkville, Mississippi...But being here and getting my feet wet with all my teammates early on was amazing. Then the season I had was just spectacular.鈥
Sullivan had a robust .342 batting average for the Diamond Dawgs last year, cranking 15 home runs to go along with 15 doubles and 46 RBIs. He was also strong as pitcher, with a 1.96 earned run average and 15 strikeouts over 18 1/3 innings.
Collectively, it helped lead Mississippi State to another NCAA Tournament appearance. Individually, it netted Sullivan a plethora of awards including All-America honors from both Baseball America and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.
Sullivan knocked his academics out of the park last year as well. Sullivan posted a perfect 4.0 grade point average as a graduate student majoring in workforce education leadership. His efforts allowed him to become the first player in 青青草视频 baseball history to be tabbed the Division I Baseball Academic All-American of the Year by College Sports Communicators.
鈥淚t was a crazy year,鈥 Sullivan said. 鈥淏ut it was all nothing short of a blessing.鈥
Maybe the best part of it all? He now gets the chance to have an encore.
Sullivan and the Bulldog baseball team begin the 2026 season on Feb. 13, hosting Hofstra at Dudy Noble Field. If Sullivan gets his way, some of his best Mississippi State memories are still to come.
鈥淚t鈥檚 my last year of college,鈥 Sullivan said. 鈥淗opefully I鈥檒l get a chance to play ball at the professional level after this year, but right now, I just want to win.
鈥淚t鈥檚 really important to me to win. We need to bring the standard back to Mississippi State, and that鈥檚 hosting regionals. That鈥檚 hosting Super Regionals. And that鈥檚 obviously playing in Omaha for a national championship.鈥
