A year after being a complete afterthought when Rich Rodriguez and John Rhys Plumlee were terrorizing people with the wishbone via the shotgun formation, Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral has come into his own under new head coach Lane Kiffin and offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby.
The Ventura, Calif. native was highly-touted coming out of high school, rated as the No. 3 pro-style quarterback in the 2018 class, and was thought to be well on his way to doing big things in Phil Longo’s offense.
And who could say that wasn’t true? The former top-100 player was at one time committed to Southern Cal and Florida and held notable Power 5 offers from Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Texas A&M, and Oregon among many others.
