If the Rebels can’t maintain gap integrity at the second level, Florida State’s electric running back will be hard to stop.
When Oregon State graduate transfer Rommel Mageo announced back in March that he was relocating to Ole Miss to finish his college football career, the assumption was that he’d arrive as the immediate replacement for C.J. Johnson at middle linebacker. Mageo was, after all, a multiyear starter in Corvallis who led the Beavers in tackles last season. Heading into Monday’s opener against Florida State, however, Mageo and fellow transfer Detric Bing-Dukes are still stuck behind DeMarquis Gates on the depth chart.
