The fate of the Ole Miss quarterback position for the 2017 football season, was all but sewn up when Shea Patterson reported to the campus January of 2016. However, there was still a question about the number two position coming into this year’s Spring practice. Jordan Ta’amu may have given the Ole Miss football coaches an answer.
Jason Pellerin was last year’s back up. However, his athletic gifts warrant him being on the field more often. Therefore, Coach Hugh Freeze has decided to give him playing time at the H-back/Tight End position. The Rebels are hoping to replace the productivity of future NFL TE Evan Engram.
