Ole Miss football defensive back Keidron Smith wins 2021 Chucky Mullins award

Ole Miss football announced Saturday that Keidron Smith would be the recipient of the 2021 Chucky Mullins Courage award.

This award honors Mullins, who was paralyzed in the Rebels’ 1989 Homecoming game against Vanderbilt.
