Like Auburn, Ole Miss has their own junior-college transfer quarterback who has the potential to do wonderful things.
The big difference?
Cameron Newton arrived on Auburn’s campus in January, put together a strong spring and will carry the QB1 title into fall practice.
Randall Mackey, the National Junior College Player of the Year at East Mississippi Community College, didn’t enroll at Ole Miss until June.
