Burdette committed to Hugh Freeze at Arkansas State and switched to Ole Miss in late January. Originally a running back, he was forced to play quarterback as a senior. He rushed for over 1,200 yards as a junior at the running back position. Listed as an athlete, he could play in the defensive secondary or at running back for the Rebels.

New Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze has been busy on the recruiting trail since his hiring on Dec. 5. With one week left until National Signing Day on Feb. 1, here’s a look at what has gone on in Ole Miss recruiting since Freeze took over.

Students pull long nights studying for tests, finishing projects and completing homework, but for some students, coffee and energy drinks aren’t enough to stay up and stay focused.
More and more college students are turning to ADHD medication to solve this problem.
Conner Hicks, a freshman undecided major, is prescribed to take ADHD medication by his doctor.
“I use it as prescribed every day, but I tend to use it sometimes just to keep myself awake to get my school work done,” he said.

When it was announced Nov. 7 that head coach Houston Nutt would not return next season, he was left to coach the last three games of the 2011 season. It was not the swan song Nutt had in mind. 

After blowout losses to Louisiana Tech and No. 1 LSU at home, the Houston Nutt era at Ole Miss (2-10, 0-8 SEC) reached its conclusion on a rain-soaked Saturday night in Starkville. 

Students may see some serious changes being made to the University of Mississippi’s tobacco policy in the semesters to come. With resolutions being worked on by the Associated Student Body and the Division of Student Affairs, students may see their campus take steps toward becoming smoke free.
In doing so, Ole Miss would join the ranks of other SEC schools that have smoke-free campuses, including the University of Kentucky, the University of Florida and the University of Arkansas.

In addition to football’s homecoming game and season openers for men’s and women’s hoops, this is also senior weekend for the Ole Miss volleyball team. 

The Rebels (9-15, 5-11 SEC) take on two ranked Southeastern Conference opponents, No. 15 Tennessee (22-3, 14-1 SEC) and No. 18 Kentucky (22-4, 13-2 SEC). The Rebels will honor their two senior players, Morgan Springer and Regina Thomas.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Rumors, reports and all kinds of bad history abound in the wake of Ole Miss’ fourth-quarter collapse Saturday. 

With the 30-13 loss at Kentucky, the Rebels’ Southeastern Conference losing streak stands at 12 games, the longest in school history. And, for the first time since 1950, Ole Miss has lost to Vanderbilt and Kentucky in the same season. 

Suffice to say, there’s uncertainty surrounding head coach Houston Nutt’s future, or lack thereof, in Oxford.

This Saturday, Ole Miss (2-6, 0-5 SEC) travels to Lexington in hopes of ending its 11-game Southeastern Conference losing streak with a win over the Kentucky Wildcats (3-5, 0-4 SEC).

Ole Miss leads the all-time series 27-13-1, including a 42-35 win in Oxford this past season.

While the Rebels prepare for the Wildcats, head coach Houston Nutt sees some similarities between his team and Kentucky.

Youth movement continues on defense

Heading into Saturday’s game against Kentucky, Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt is inserting several freshmen into the starting lineup for the first time.

“I’m anxious to see it game time, but they are taking the game plan in and working hard,” Nutt said. “It’s like swimming, you’ve got to throw them in the water.”
