Ole Miss football dominating with mix of old and new

The Ole Miss football program had the second ranked transfer class during the off-season which played a big part in the Rebels week two win over Central Arkansas. In week three, more new players stepped up for the Rebels.

True freshman running back Quinshon Judkins is the perfect example, leading the team with 19 carries in a 42-0 shutout win over Georgia Tech.

Judkins ripped off 98 yards and two touchdowns, adding to what was already an impressive start to the 2022 campaign for Head Coach Lane Kiffin’s latest recruiting class.

Here’s his response to being asked whether or not he wants to be playing his young stars this early in their career. “No, we’d really like to not have really unique great players that play early. I mean c’mon. But you are right. We have not had a lot of that where we’ve had premier high school players walk in that are elite players right away. So, to see the running back and the corner, and Tysheem a year ago, that’s really special because then, obviously, you have them for longer, minus the portal. So, when they’re that young and playing that young and playing that well, that’s great, instead of having to always bring people in to fix all the issues.”

Ole Miss returns to Oxford for a week four match up against Tulsa as the Rebels look to extend their 11-game home winning streak at 3 p.m. Saturday.
