D'Vaughn Pennamon and Jarrion Street join current Rebels Jordan Wilkins and Akeem Judd in a backfield that Hugh Freeze has committed to beefing up.
Despite everything else being hot garbage in 2006 and 2007, BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran rampant on opponents, becoming just the second Rebel ever to post back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. A couple years later, Brandon Bolden put up a 976-yard season with 14 touchdowns.
Since then, however, Ole Miss has struggled to find a traditional big back, particularly in Hugh Freeze's tenure. Jeff Scott and Jaylon Walton have been productive, but lack the size to give the offense a punch in short-yardage situations.
