Ole Miss football announced Saturday that Keidron Smith would be the recipient of the 2021 Chucky Mullins Courage award.
This award honors Mullins, who was paralyzed in the Rebels’ 1989 Homecoming game against Vanderbilt. Every year, Ole Miss football picks an upperclassman defensive player that embodies the same courage, perseverance, and determination that Chucky Mullins had. The player typically wears the No. 38, but this year, Smith has decided to switch things up.
The defensive back from West Palm Beach, Florida has decided to forgo the honor of wearing the No.
