Tim Elko’s story at Ole Miss is not over just yet.
The Rebel infielder announced his intention to return to Oxford for “one last ride” in a tweet on Tuesday. Elko’s return means the Ole Miss captain will follow up his 2021 season, which was one of the more compelling stories in college baseball this spring.
After having a career month in March, earning a National Player of the Month honor, Elko suffered an ACL injury in early April that seemingly ended his season and possibly career.
Less than a month later, Elko returned to the lineup in a pinch-hitter role.
