Matt Wyatt is a former Mississippi State quarterback who played for the Bulldogs from 1996 to 1999,
Matt was right in the middle of one of the most important eras in Mississippi State football history. During the 1998 season, Mississippi State won the SEC West, earning a trip to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. That game matched State up against Tennessee Volunteers and quarterback Tee Martin, who would go on to lead Tennessee to a national championship later that season.
That ’98 team helped elevate Mississippi State onto the national stage, and Matt was one of the leaders inside the huddle during that run — playing for a program that was redefining itself in the late ’90s and setting a foundation that fans still talk about today.
Matt is also one of the most recognizable voices in Mississippi sports media. After his playing days, Matt built a career behind the mic and on camera: he’s the host of The Matt Wyatt Show on The Zone 105.9, and he’s also long been part of Mississippi State football coverage as a radio color analyst.
On top of sports, Matt’s got a deep Mississippi outdoors streak—he hosts the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast, where he talks hunting, fishing, conservation, and the people who live it.
And he’s not just a broadcaster—he’s a creator. Through Matt Wyatt Media, he does professional photography and video production, documenting life, sports, and the outdoors across Mississippi and beyond.
