It was a tough blow to the Ole Miss football staff when inside linebackers coach Jon Sumrall left for an open position on the Kentucky staff last month. The former Troy assistant was a part of Neal Brown’s early teams that started his mini-dynasty in South Alabama and was also a co-defensive coordinator in New Orleans at Tulane.
The biggest loss, though, is Sumrall’s presence on the recruiting trail. He signed four-star Lakia Henry and was a big reason why the Rebs flipped three-star defensive tackle LeDarrius Cox from Tennessee and signed Brandon Mack.
Alas, Matt Luke has found his replacement and SPOILER he is another former coordinator.
