Memphis coach: Ole Miss TE Evan Engram a ‘special talent’

Ole Miss is loaded with receivers, and Memphis coaches put Rebels tight end Evan Engram at the top of the list.

Tigers coach Mike Norvell paid special compliments to Engram during his weekly news conference. Memphis and Ole Miss face off Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium; it’s Ole Miss’ homecoming game.

“Engram is a special talent and they do a lot of different things with him,” said Norvell, who has Memphis off to a 3-0 start in his first season as coach.

Not surprisingly, Norvell also is concerned about Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly. He has completed 65.
