Stewart Reese, a four-star recruit according to Rivals and the No. 19 guard according to 247Sports, has committed to the Bulldogs based on multiple reports.

The 6-foot-5, 340-pounder out of Fort Pierce, Fla., chose Mississippi State over Syracuse not long after an official visit to Starkville from Jan. 15-17.

Reese had offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan State, Nebraska, Ole Miss and South Carolina among others.
