There’s finally some finality to Kanye Clary’s status with Mississippi State this season.

Chris Jans announced at his weekly Dawg Talk radio show at WalkOns in Starkville that Clary will not be able to return this season due to a lingering injury. Clary hasn’t played since the Butler game on November 29 and played in only seven games with the Bulldogs this season.

A source told Maroon and White Daily that Clary will seek a redshirt for this season.

Clary played in seven games and started four for MSU this season and was averaging 6.3 points and 2.6 assists per game this year. He scored in double figures in two games.

With Clary out, the Bulldogs have had a few different players running the point guard spot for the Bulldogs. Josh Hubbard has primarily handled those duties while Cameron Matthews and Riley Kugel have also handled the ball for State in a 16-4 start to the year.

Clary transferred to State from Penn State where he played in 55 games and started in 20 of them. He averaged 16.7 points per game a season ago for the Nittany Lions with 2.8 assists before leaving the team in the middle of the season. He played in 23 games last year.

The No. 14 Bulldogs will be back in action on Wednesday night as they take on the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide inside Humphrey Coliseum. State looks to earn its fourth top 25 win with a victory as the Bulldogs have a chance to strengthen what’s already a strong resume.
