August 18 has become embossed in the mind of Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral, now as important as his birthday, his parents’ anniversary or any almost other single day on the calendar.
It’s the day more than two years ago when Corral said everything changed for him and helped set him on a course that has made him a top 2022 NFL draft prospect.
It was not a banner day in practice, a position battle won on the field, or even a fun day out with his buddies.
It was the day Corral said he tackled depression head on.
