In Lane Kiffin’s first year as head coach at Ole Miss, the Rebels finished 5-5 and defeated the 11th-ranked Indiana Hoosiers in the Outback Bowl.
Much of that success was attributed to redshirt junior quarterback Matt Corral. The Ventura, Calif. native, albeit with two weeks of struggles, absolutely shredded opponents in 2020, leading the National Collegiate Athletic Association in total offense per game (384.9 yards). And yes, he managed to still do that with the Arkansas and LSU losses.
So, yeah, the dude can absolute go.
Now, fast forward to 2021 and Corral is generating a ton of NFL Draft buzz entering year two under Kiffin and Lebby, a first for the 6-foot-1, 205-pounder who has yet in his college career been able to be in the same offense two consecutive years.
