Joseph Jr., a three-star recruit from Pascagoula, Miss., didn’t see any playing time during his freshman season. He chose the Bulldogs’ program over Southern Miss, Duke, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisville and others to play at his father’s alma mater, where he played linebacker from 1989 to 1992 and still ranks 10th all-time in career sacks.
“We are deeply saddened and heartbroken by the tragic loss of Keith Jr. and his father,” Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said. “Keith had such a promising future as a Bulldog following in the legacy started by Keith Sr., who played for our program 25 years ago. Keith was a great student, a hard worker and a great teammate to all of us. With heavy hearts, our thoughts and prayers go out to the Joseph family, our entire Mississippi State community and all of the lives these Bulldogs touched.”
