In a time when so many college athletes are eager to reach the next level, Matt Corral stayed. He’s a future first-round draft pick and could have easily decided to opt-out of his last game in a Rebel uniform, but to him, it was bigger than that.
If I was them (Ole Miss teammates), in their shoes and they had a quarterback in the same position … I just couldn’t live with what they would think of me like just leaving and just being like ‘alright that was the last game’ and nobody knowing that was the last game,” Corral said.
