Ole Miss and Matt Luke will finally fill their linebackers coach void with the hiring of a new coach, expected as early as next week. Jon Sumrall, the assistant head coach/linebackers coach/special teams coordinator at Troy, will be leaving The Yellowhammer State to coach the second level in Oxford, per FootballScoop’s Zach Barnett.
Sumrall, who has spent the last three seasons at Troy, grew up in Huntsville, Ala. and played his college ball at Kentucky. He began his coaching career as a defensive graduate assistant in Lexington before leaving for a job on the University of San Diego’s staff.
