One of the highlights of fall camp at Ole Miss is the naming of the next Chucky Mullins Courage Award winner. On Thursday, August, 7th, head coach Lane Kiffin announced the decision before the team. The winner of this year's award is senior linebacker Tyler Banks.
The Chucky Mullins Courage Award is one of the most prestigious honors in Ole Miss football, presented annually to a defensive player who best embodies the spirit, determination, and courage of the late Chucky Mullins. Mullins, a Rebels defensive back, was paralyzed during a game in 1989 but inspired countless people through his resilience, positive attitude, and unwavering love for life and the sport.
