Mississippi State is looking for a new hype man to give fans a boost during home football and basketball games.
This opportunity offers prospective DJs a chance to play a key role in shaping the in-venue experience at Davis Wade Stadium and Humphrey Coliseum. Mississippi State is seeking individuals who can read the crowd, set the tone, and support the overall entertainment experience for fans throughout the season.
Tryouts are open to experienced DJs ages 18 and older. Current MSU students and non-students are both welcome to apply.
The tryout process consists of two rounds. The first round is an online application, which includes a form submission and a sample mix. Selected applicants will be invited to an in-person second round, held on campus. Those invited for the in-person tryouts will receive a formal invitation via email from the school’s fan experience staff.
Tryout participants should bring their own controller/laptop setup. MSU will provide house speakers and any necessary connections. The selected DJ will perform at football, women’s basketball, and men’s basketball, with the opportunity to perform at other sports and events as needed.
“We’re looking for DJs with experience performing live, a strong ability to read and react to crowds, and a broad knowledge of music that suits various game day moments,” a release from the university stated.
Mississippi State’s search comes after DJ Kuhjo left Starkville to be the hype man at Southern Miss. Applications to energize Bulldog crowds can be submitted here.
