Second MSU football player opts out of 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns.

Mississippi State University freshman football player Javorrious Selmon has opted out of the 2020 football season.

Selmon expressed concern of playing due to the COVID-19 pandemic this past weekend.

ESPN rated Selmon a four-star athlete last season when he played for Provine High School. He finished his 2019 senior year with 47 tackles and two interceptions.

Selmon is now the second MSU football player to opt out of the season. Teammate Tyler Williams decided to not play earlier this month due to COVID concerns.
