Former Michigan State defensive end Montez Sweat will soon be back in major college football.

According to 247Sports' Paul Jones, Sweat has committed to Mississippi State in the 2017 class. He'll play the 2016 season for Copiah-Lincoln Community College before joining the Bulldogs.

A redshirt sophomore, Sweat officially left the Michigan State program on April 18 after dealing with discipline issues. He was suspended after the second game of last season and didn't return until spring practice. Head coach Mark Dantonio also said Sweat was "in limbo" with the team shortly before he ultimately left.

Despite his discipline problems, the 6-foot-6, 230-pound Sweat has the physical talents to excel at defensive end. In his college debut in 2014 before ultimately redshirting, he recorded four tackles and a half sack, and he had shown flashes in practice.

Sweat will likely be able to enroll in January and is set to join fellow Co-Lin players Jaquarius Landrews, Tommy Champion and Deion Pope at Mississippi State.
