With the 2024 presidential election promising to be just as divisive as the last, The Daily Mississippian set out to unite the Ole Miss population under one common candidate — a Rebel athletic legend, current or former, who would be well-suited for the role of president.
Surely Ole Miss could agree upon one of their own heroes to nominate for the White House, right?
Not quite.
Samuel Quon, a sophomore accounting major from Olive Branch, Miss., proposed Tony Fein — a Rebel linebacker from the 2007-2008 seasons who coined the Landshark celebration.
“(Fein) was a war veteran in Iraq before coming to Ole Miss, which is incredibly heroic and showcases his courage, dedication and commitment to our country,” Quon said.
