Nice Work FGH


Ole Miss's got some help from its friends last week as one of the best prep quarterbacks to come out of Mississippi in a long time committed to play for the Rebels.

Clayton Moore lead the Louisville Wildcats to a 3A state title last year. He will have to be the top high school quarterback to sign with the Rebels since Romaro Miller back in 1997. Sorry, Spurlock you were more of an athlete. Of course in large part this is because Mississippi only seems to produce a top flight quarterback prospect once every three or four years. See Blake Barnes and Jason Campbell in the post Romaro years. (Seriously comment below if I'm missing someone. And don't say Kevin Fant or Omar Conner unless you want me to laugh at you.) And unfortunatly as Campbell and Barnes show, these quarterbacks often leave the state. So remarkably this year the State has three legit prospect in Moore, Tupelo's Chris Garrett (LSU commit) and Meridian's Tyler Russell (MSU commit). Thank goodness the Rebels actually got one.
