Could Jerrion Ealy surpass Dexter McCluster as the Rebel’s triple threat?

The Ealy Show was in full effect on Saturday with the running back showing his five-star potential in a record-breaking performance against SELA on the ground, in the air and on special teams with 94 yard kickoff return touchdown for his opening act.

The true freshman finished the game with 273 all-purpose yards, breaking the record for total yards from a freshman in a single game previously set by Dexter McCluster in 2006. The performance begs the question of Ealy’s potential in his next few years in Oxford and if he can reach or even surpass the level of the Rebel legend.
