Mississippi State WR Creed Whittemore will not play the rest of the season and take a redshirt, according to a report from Maroon and White Daily.

Whittemore has played in all 4 games of the 2024 season. Four regular-season games is the maximum a player can play and still redshirt.

Whittemore was listed as out on Wednesday’s official availability report

A true sophomore, Whittemore has 4 catches for 65 yards on the season. He also logged a 41-yard rushing touchdown.

Whittemore is coming a 2-catch, 36-yard performance against Florida, a program he knows well. A Gainesville, Florida native, Whittemore was committed to UF, where his brother Trent Whittemore played for 4 seasons (2019-22).

In October 2022, Creed Whittemore decommitted from Florida and pledged to Mississippi State to play for Mike Leach, who tragically passed in December of that year. Trent left the UF football team before the end of the season to pursue a transfer. Trent transferred to UCF and is still a member of the Knights.

Ahead of the Florida-Mississippi State game, UF coach Billy Napier was complimentary of Creed and the Whittemore family.

The transfer portal’s fall window is scheduled for Dec. 9 to Jan. 7. We’ll see if Whittemore seeks a new home. He has 15 catches for 167 yards in his college career.
