STARKVILLE - Mississippi State has four quarterbacks again.

Two days after Elijah Staley announced he would transfer, the Bulldogs added quarterback Wyatt Roberts to the roster, the university confirmed on Sunday.

Roberts played at East Mississippi Community College last year and starred in the Netflix documentary "Last Chance U." He will join the team as a junior. It's difficult to envision a scenario where he'll be a part of the quarterback competition involving Damian Williams, Nick Fitzgerald and Nick Tiano.

Roberts played at Louisville High School prior to signing with EMCC.

The 6-foot signal caller completed 65.4 percent of his passes last year at East Mississippi. He threw for 2,197 yards with 23 touchdowns and only two interceptions.
