When Royce Newman got to Oxford, it felt like his home of Nashville, Illinois. The country music capital in Tennessee is much different than the Nashville up north.
The 6-foot-7, 265-pound Newman attends a high school with an enrollment of 380. And his Nashville is about the size of Water Valley, or 3,000 residents to be exact.
Newman is a Ole Miss Rebel now after making his official visit to Ole Miss this past weekend. If Gary Pinkel had remained the head coach of the Missouri Tigers, he would have been a Tiger.
