Ole Miss is welcoming home one of its greatest players in program history.
On Saturday, Eli Manning will become only the third Rebels player to have his jersey number retired, joining his father, Archie (18), and Chucky Mullins (38). Ole Miss is set to face LSU at 2:30 p.m. CT.
Eli will lead the team through The Grove for the Walk of Champions, and the program painted the end zones with his last name. His No. 10 jersey will be retired at halftime.
The four-year letterwinner won the 2003 Maxwell Award and set or tied 47 Rebels singleu2011game, season and career records during his time in Oxford.
