Running backs coach Kevin Smith inherits a talented backfield at Ole Miss and knows what it takes to be reach the top of the college game and make it to the NFL.
The Rebels ran for 3,015 yards in 2019 with first-year quarterback John Rhys Plumlee lining up in the backfield alongside true freshman Jerrion Ealy and Snoop Conner, and senior Scottie Phillips. The three-headed monster of freshman quickly made its presence felt in the Southeastern Conference and did so with relative ease.
Ealy and Conner return as one of the most dangerous thunder and lighting duos in the country as sophomores, and will be joined by two solid incoming recruits to make a busy, but extremely skilled running back room.
