After a long season spent watching from the sidelines, Ole Miss running back Jordan Wilkins is on pace to return for the Rebels this fall.
Wilkins was declared ineligible for the 2016 season after failing to enroll in the required number of course hours. Players starting their fourth year must have finished at least 60 percent of their curriculum; Wilkins had not.
While the redshirt junior was disheartened by his ineligible status, his response spoke volumes of his maturity.
“The easy thing to do is point fingers but that’s not the right way,” Wilkins said in a Facebook post.
